[Devilspie2-discuss] devilspie2 0.36 can't handle windows on the second X DISPLAY screen

[David Mudrák]

Hi all.

I found devilspie an awesome tool and was really happy to be able to
switch to devilspie2 with the nice LUA syntax of the rules file. I am
currently experiencing an issue in my multi-head setup.

I am running Gentoo XFCE in multi-head (zaphod) mode. I have two
separate screens and I am able to open windows on them using
DISPLAY=:0.0 and DISPLAY=:0.1

However, I realized that devilspie2 is not able to control windows on
the second screen. Even when executed as

    $ DISPLAY=:0.1 devilspie2 --debug

or started in a terminal on the second screen (thence having the DISPLAY
set implicitly), it always displays debug information about the windows
on the screen :0.0 only.

As a consequence, none of my rules apply to windows opened in :0.1.

Is there a way how I can make devilspie2 control the windows on both X
screens?

Thanks in advance for any hint.
