It seems that they're numbered from 1 rather than 0, so everything works OK if I do

hunk ./Config.hs 175 - | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [0..] + | (key, sc) <- zip [xK_w, xK_e, xK_r] [1..]

and make the appropriate change to dmenuXinerama. Is that a deliberate change? (I'm indifferent to it; I'm just slightly concerned I might have broken something in my local build.)

We number them from 0 in xmonad intentionally -- I'm not sure how the Xinerama patched dmenu numbers them. Jason wrote that patch, let's see what he has to say about this.

Xinerama-patched dmenu uses 1-indexed screen numbers, whereas, as Spencer notes, xmonad users 0-indexed screen numbers. IIRC, it's been that way for at least a couple weeks, so I'm puzzled as to why you'd be running into breakage. Jason Creighton
