I have a Xinerama setup. Only the first monitor has a gap, and only it displays the two dzen2 instances. (I use something very close to the suggested setup in XMonadContrib/scripts/run-xmonad.sh.)

I like it.

If you change your mind, and want gaps on multiple screens, just add more gap-tuples to the gap list in Config.hs; eg, the following puts a 15-pixel gap at the bottom of both screens: defaultGaps :: [(Int,Int,Int,Int)] defaultGaps = [(0,15,0,0),(0,15,0,0)] To a place dzen instance on the second screen, use the -x and -y command line flags judiciously. The x & y values you need will depend very much on your setup, the sizes and relative placements of the screens, etc. If you run multiple dzens, you probably also need to know about and use the -w flag, which restricts its width. By default a dzen will take up the entire screen (in fact, I _think_, go across multiple screens), potentially obscuring other dzen instances, so with more than one dzen running, this is essential (in my experience at least).

Though I do have to admit that sometimes I think it could be nice if the dzens would follow the focus.

Ah now that's a whole different ball game, I guess. :-) Hope this helps (someone), -Andy -- Andy Gimblett Computer Science Department University of Wales Swansea http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csandy/

Isn't there a Xinerama patch for dzen somewhere? I vaguely remember this being the case, but it's been too long since I downloaded and installed it. I do "dzen2 -xs 1" (but still use -w and -x because I have two of them).

dzen comes with Xinerama support by default, it is a compile time option though. I.e. simply follow the comments in 'config.mk' to enable Xinerama. If 'config.mk' does _not_ include comments on Xinerama you should consider upgrading dzen as there were some bugfixes and improvements lately. Current version is 0.5.0 though the svn trunk has some code cleanups and fixes so that's the most stable version at the moment. See http://gotmor.googlepages.com/dzen for any further details.
