dmenu @4.5: new submission

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Thanks.

The xinerama variant needs a description. What does it do?

Or: why would anyone want to disable it? Could we just enable it all the time? Fewer variants is better.

[jpo@…]

It enables support for ​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama

If users don't know what it is, they probably want it. You'd only want to disable it if your x server complains about it (in which case you'd know it's xinerama from the logs), and you'd definitely want to be able to disable it, hence why I think it makes sense to be a default variant.

Am I not understanding something correctly?

Replying to jpo@…:

You'd only want to disable it if your x server complains about it (in which case you'd know it's xinerama from the logs), and you'd definitely want to be able to disable it

In what circumstances would the X server complain about this? How would I for example reproduce such a complaint on my system?

Am I not understanding something correctly?

I'm just trying to avoid the proliferation of unnecessary variants, so I'm just trying to verify that this variant is actually needed in real-world situations.

Thanks, Frank. I totally missed this ticket when I put that port together.
