[RP] support for multiple screens in ratpoison?

[Yanni Kouskoulas]

Greetings. This is my first post to this list, so if I ask questions that
have already been covered, bear with me.

I am looking to potentially use ratpoison as a window manager for a system
we are developing at work. I am interested in any support for multiple
screens that might be forthcoming. For this project, it would be ideal if
ratpoison would recognize and take advantage of the different monitors
available for a particular display, allowing the user to see one "window"
on each monitor.

I noticed this comment in split.c
/* FIXME: what about multiple screens? */

Is there any interest in fixing this? Is anyone working on this? If not,
would people be willing to suggest where to get documentation/information
on the X windows API? (I have never done gui programming for X, but I
learn quickly, and I might be willing to put a couple hours into fixing
this, depending on how complicated it is.)
