Isn't this how workspaces have worked in xmonad for a long itme? Each
screen is already a view onto an independent workspace from a shared
list of workspaces -- I'm confused as to what you're trying to add.

This is exactly the thing that annoys me -- that the list of workspaces is shared.  My module changes that (sort of).

The shared workspace pool is the thing I love most about xmonad! I was thinking of writing my own window manager to get just that feature when xmonad was released (and I was already a haskeller). It annoys me to no end how nearly every "virtual desktop" implementation treats multiple monitors as one desktop.

Does your module segregate the workspaces into monitor-specific sets, that can still be switched independently?
