dual monitor problem

[Olivier Fourdan]

I mean that you must export the variable DISPLAY otherwise your child
process won't inherit it.

ie, something along those lines (for bash):

export DISPLAY=:0.1
xfce-mcs-manager &
xfwm4 --daemon &
xfce4-iconbox &
 
export DISPLAY=:0.0
startxfce4
 
Cheers,
Olivier.
