Is there a way to force "consistency" such that I'll always end up with consistent pairs of workspaces on each of the screens? Say as in,
Alt-1:
Screen 1: Workspace 0 Screen 0: Workspace 1
Alt-2:
Screen 1: Workspace 2 Screen 0: Workspace 3 ... ?
What you're descibing is the way other window managers work, in which you view just one workspace at a time, and each workspace includes the contents of both screens. I'm not sure why we do this differently. In a sense, it's a sort of crude "sticky window" approach that assumes you're actually only using one screen at a time. This wouldn't be to hard to create keybindings for. Alternatively, you could disable xinerama support in xmonad, and construct your layout algorithms using *|* so that windows wouldn't be placed on the boundary between the two screens. This might be more or less successful, depending what layouts you want to use, but would definitely be the easiest and most internally-consistent solution. (Yes, this is a hack, but that's what's required to construct a semantics not implemented in xmonad.) -- David Roundy Department of Physics Oregon State University
