> I'm a dwm user with three screens, and there is literally zero extra configuration that's needed to get it working with multiple screens. The three screens have independent tag sets, and it Just Works.
There's some confusion, I am using awesome, not dwm. I only spent a few dozen minutes with dwm and then switched to awesome but it wasn't because of dual monitor concerns. Though I am also glad I stopped using dual monitor, whatever the DE.
But since you mentioned dwm and awesome in the same breath and then went on to complain about configuration headaches I thought it might be worthwhile to point out that dwm actually doesn't suffer from the configuration headaches that apparently come with awesome + multiple monitors.
But then, dwm has its own set of other limitations of course (quite a lot of them, in fact) - everything's a tradeoff.
