This is >fine for me, but I'm curious if this is the best way to do it. Some window managers, such as twm, handle multiple screens internally. Others, such as fvwm, determine if there are multiple screens and automatically start an additional copy of the window manager for each extra screen. It sounds like icewm doesn't do either of these things, but starting two copies yourself is equivalent to what fvwm is doing.
