I am using WM on VMWare. Since VMWare changed their way of handling
multiple monitors you no longer get to see all your monitors using
xrandr and thus can no longer create your own dual head setup. VMWare
now use the NETWM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS hint instead, i.e. work is being
shifted to the WM. It seems like they implemented support for this
hint into some popular window managers themselves. Unfortunately WM is
not one of them, and thus there's effectively no support for multiple
monitors in WMWare if you use WM.

The whole thing is explained here: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/198341

It would be nice to eventually have support for this in WM. I am not
sure how complicated this would turn out. But as some people have
already dealt with multiple monitor support, maybe somebody could take
a brief look?

Cheers,

Martin
