dwm supports screen hot[un]plugging using Xinerama. To understand why dwm doesn't hook directly onto Xrandr I recommend comparing Xrandr(3) with Xinerama(3). However all this legacy (Xlib, Xinerama) will be interfaced away from dwm core soon, so that I don't care how people implement these interfaces. There'll be an Xlib+Xinerama based reference implementation though and I don't plan any other implementations at this point. People might come up with pango and what not. Perhaps Google's Chrome OS is worth checking once it'll be published next week, so that we can make dwm based on something better than X potentially. But time will show. Kind regards, Anselm
