Description Manfred Knick 2017-05-01 17:58:21 UTC
Proposed Assignee: @ Maxim Koltsov ?

More detailed findings described in awesome issue #598
[ https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/598 ], comment 2017-05-01 19:01


Finally I could identify the **patterns**:


X11:  creating 4 separate X11 screens

XFCE: creating 2 x 2 "Workspaces"

C) _Thunar_ spawns the apps (...) from file context
- onto that (wrong) X11 screen where (after starting X env) 
  the _last_ instance of Dolphin had been started
- (regardless if this _last_ instance has been closed in between)
- onto the currently active "Workspace"

Comment 2 Manfred Knick 2017-06-07 16:20:16 UTC
Although confirmed as working stable multiple times,
unfortunately, Elv13 stated that nobody @ Awesome would care about
independent X11 screens ("ZaphoMode") any more;
c.f. https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/598#issuecomment-305114301 ff.

No sign of interest stated by leading upstream (=XFCE) developers.

f really nobody cares besides me,
I do not mind to close as "WONTFIX".
