[xmonad] xinerama and workspaces

[timothyhobbs at seznam.cz]

Thanks for your recommendations.  I was at first happy to try out a 
prepackaged solution in X.L.IndependentScreens
(http://X.L.IndependentScreens) however I found that it loses my windows 
when I switch between single screen mode and xinerama(laptop here, so that's
multiple times a day).  I guess I'll move on to your second suggestion.

Timothy

Seems like this shouldn't be too hard. Change your mod-{1,2,3,4} 
keybinding to view the workspace that's currently visible on the left 
monitor, then shift to workspace {1,2,3,4}; change your mod-{5,6,7,8} 
keybinding to view the workspace that's currently on the right 
monitor, then shift to workspace {5,6,7,8}. This is a slight 
modification of the idea behind X.L.IndependentScreens
(http://X.L.IndependentScreens), which you may 
also like.
