How to limit E17 on one display(screen)?
I usually run a tiling window manager, such as dwm or wmii. However, these tiling window managers do NOT work well the "Seamless Desktop" feature of VirtualBox.
I figured out that I have to run a window manager with a desktop to use this feature.
Then, my solution is run two different WMs on two separate screens. There are two "screen"s in my xorg.conf and I managed to run either kde or openbox along side with wmii by using DISPLAY variables.
However, I want to try e17.
The issue with e17 is that it automatically recognize both screens and does NOT allow me to run a second WM.
Is there any way to limit e17 on one screen and leave the other for another WM.
Thanks!
