What do you need this property for?
The definition of SHOULD is given in RFC 2119.
This might be related to #410.
It seems that the concept of per-monitor desktops is non-standard, shared perhaps by just bspwm and i3. I'd like a graphical pager that shows only desktops on the current (virtual) monitor.
I'm hopeful that tint2 will support this in the near future (see tint2#524).
In the meantime it seems that pager-multihead might be the only one that already supports this. I was trying to resurrect pager-multihead, but run into an error when it looks up the desktop geometry and it is null. I haven't looked into the possibility of eliminating it's dependency on the geometry. Alternately, I suppose I could wrap it in a script that sets the _NET_DESKTOP_GEOMETRY based on bspc query -m focused -T | jq '.rectangle'
.
FYI, pager-multihead actually works well given how long it's gone without maintenance. I've just patched in the bspc call for now.
According to the latest EWMH specifications for "Root Window Properties", "This property SHOULD be set by the Window Manager."
Yet it doesn't appear to be set in bspwm-0.9.1. I'm getting nothing from
xprop -root | grep GEOMETRY
.
