[Notion-devel] Multihead: WScreen's directly under the WRootWin WMPlex?

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hi,

Currently, the WRootWin is a WScreen, which is a WMPlex.

WMPlex is documented as: 'a base class for all regions that ``multiplex'' 
other regions. This means that of the regions managed by the multiplexer, only
one can be displayed at a time.'

The current multihead approaches, afaics, create multiple WScreen's as 
WMPlex'ed children of the WRootWin. Those WScreen's *will* be displayed at the
same time.

One symptom is that I've enabled resizing WScreen's, but the WRootWin (being 
a WMPlex) will try to resize the WScreen to the size of the WRootWin, which is
undesirable in the multihead situation.

This leads me to think it's not natural choice to attach the multihead WScreens
directly to the WRootWin/WMPlex. What do you think? What could be an 
alternative approach?


Kind regards,

Arnout
