Hi,
At the moment I'm invoking dmenu with
spawn "exe=`dmenu_path | dmenu`&& eval \"exec $exe\""
Which results in dmenu always appearing on my primary monitor. What should be done in order to make dmenu appear on the focused monitor? I'm guessing that it might require the use of dmenu's -m option, but it's not clear to me how to get XMonad to report the currently focused monitor, or how to (cleanly) incorporate this information into the spawn command.
As a secondary issue, when monitor 1 is focused and I launch something with dmenu, dmenu appears on monitor 0; the launched application sometimes appears on monitor 0, sometimes on monitor 1. I haven't managed to spot a pattern in this behaviour yet. Any hints on how to make this behaviour more stable and more sensible?
Thanks.

You can try to use the latest dmenu (4.5) to see if it fixes that issue. * Detects monitor based on input focus, not just pointer location. * Token matching instead of just substrings. * XIM composition support. * Paste from clipboard with C-S-y. * stest(1) replaces lsx(1). * M-[Gghjkl] restored for vi-like navigation. * And a couple of bug fixes. -- rga@sdf.lonestar.org
