[Spice-devel] Multi-monitor / multi-session

[Roman Lazarev]

Jaryd,

I did the test today, but no matter how I tweaked the DISPLAY variable, I
was unable to send the session to the second monitor. It would always be
pinned to the first one. Not sure if there're something about the client
that does it...
