WHAT HAPPENED:
i start up mwm in my ~henry/.startup.X for my second display as follows:
mwm -display unix:0.1 &
once the mwm is ready to accept work, i find that i am able to bring
up menus on the appropriate display, but selecting applications from
my menus causes the windows to happen on my other display (unix:0.0).
i suspect that the mwm is inheriting the value of the DISPLAY variable
and passing it on to its subprocesses (thus causing them to be
displayed on the $DISPLAY display and not on the display where the
window mgr is running.
WHAT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED:
uwm seems to do the right thing (imho) with this: if i start up uwm as
follows:
uwm -display unix:0.1 &
the menus i bring up and applications i choose all display on the :0.1
display.
