Hey,
Not sure it's the right place to ask but here goes..
I'm using Arch with the Awesome WM. I have a dual screen setup where both screens share the same Awesome config (so, ONE screen {} in .awesomerc).
I set the wallpaper with feh by adding "eval `cat $HOME/.fehbg` &" to .xinitrc and my problem is that it only sets the wallpaper on my primary screen.
What I want is two different wallpapers on two different screens/monitors. How is this done?
Also, I'm able to set the wallpapers in both screens by manually running "feh --bg-center file1.jpg" in one and "feh --bg-center file2.jpg" in the other one.

I don't know if this will be the same with awesome, but I use nitrogen to set my dual screen wallpapers in openbox.

Nitrogen did the trick. Thanks a lot.

-- For others who stumble upon this like I did --
**In the code, for more than two monitors, switch statements might be cleaner
If you don't want to install another application, you can apparently with beautiful/gears:
-- {{{ Wallpaper
if beautiful.wallpaper then
for s = 1, screen.count() do
--gears.wallpaper.maximized(beautiful.wallpaper, s, true)
if s < 2 then
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_one", s, true)
else
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_two", s, true)
end
end
end
-- }}}
