[xmonad] "wmctrl -l" lists all my windows as being on the same workspace (0)

[Lara Michaels]

While googling for a solution I came across this bit of code in XMonad.Hooks.EwmhDesktops:

-- Per window Desktop  -- To make gnome-panel accept our xinerama stuff, we display  -- all visible windows on the current desktop.  forM_ (W.current s : W.visible s) $ \x ->  forM_ (W.integrate' (W.stack (W.workspace x))) $ \win -> do  setWindowDesktop win curr

[http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/src/XMonad-Hooks-EwmhDesktops.html]

Might this be why wmctrl reports all windows as being in the currently active workspace when I have Xorg running with two screens?

thank you for any insight
