I managed to hack around this somewhat by building two separate
osd_cat binaries, osd_cat_0 and osd_cat_1, that are hardcoded to
display on Xinerama screen 0 and 1, respectively. Then the following
code will display the workspace name on the correct screen:
-- Show the name of the new workspace when switching workspaces.
add_to_hook("screen_workspace_switched",
function(screen, region)
os.execute("echo '" .. region:name() .. "' |"
.. " osd_cat_" .. screen:id()
.. " -O 2 -u black -c yellow -p middle -A center -d 1"
.. " -f '-*-lucida-*-r-*-*-34-*-*-*-*-*-*-*' -l 1 &")
end
)
It would of course have been better to implement proper support in
libxosd for multiple Xinerama screens, but I don't have the time right
now.
