[xmonad] Re: knowing what is on each workspace and/or knowing which workspace I am looking at

In case others (now or in the future) are interested in getting this working, I just want to note that unfortunately this very cool switcher that Justin pointed out is not usable with multiple monitors. All the apps currently visible (on both workspaces) get grouped together as being in either workspace A or B, depending on which currently has focus.

This is due to how EwmhDesktops works. The gnome window selector behaves the same way, in fact. I wrote a patch [1] that fixes this issue last year, but apparently nobody was interested enough to apply it. An updated patch for the current head is attached.
