Well, I think this is awesome, it is sad to see how quickly this thread turned into another dead-end discussion about how much X sucks. There are so many possibilities with nested dwm instances that I think some ideas would be worth trying. I can see its application to web browsers like surf or uzbl, or how a "master dwm" with a nested dwm per tag could be used as a workspaces on top of dwm solution. I can think of better examples, but I have some questions: I had a quick glance at the code and I guess what you are doing is getting control of the windows given in the command line with scan. Is there any reason windows cannot be moved between dwm's on the fly? how difficult would it be to communicate the different dwm instances? (moving clients between them based on rules and user actions would be enough for me, more elaborated interfaces could be possible). Also, I would really like to know where is dwm on a window situated with respect to xephyr and rio, whatever you think about Plan9, running rio inside rio is a great feature, if I can have that with dwm I think is one of the most killer features you could have in a window manager. Don't you think the integration of this feature into dwm could be well worth? Maybe not, maybe it is just a hack or not a good idea at all, but I would like to see some discussion about that. -- - yiyus || JGL .
