Hi Brian, When I first thought about packaging i3lock-fancy, I didn't consider the program packagable if it would not handle multiple monitors appropriately. At the time, there was (and there still is) the "dualmonitors" branch which was giving good results (and still does) so I decided to package it while hoping the branch would eventually be merged.

Sadly, as you can see from upstream repository, there were multiple attempts~[1,2,3] at merging the functionnality, but it never did. > Version in Debian unstable is very old, please consider updating to at > least version 0.2, the latest release. Unless there are important issues concerning this request, I don't think that we should do that for reasons I mentionned above. Please, feel free to respond if I'm missing something important.
