Cannot run multiple instances of lxpanel

Post by luboss »

Hello,

I've got 2 displays running on my desktop (monitor & TV) but I lxpanel starts only on the first display. On the second I see only XFCE desktop which I'm using along with lxsession. I'd like to have lxpanel running on both displays.
I tried to run it manualy by command:

DISPLAY=:0.1 lxpanel &

but I've got following "error" message:

Code: Select all

There is already an instance of LXPanel.  Now to exit
I'd like to run multiple instances of it (each on its display), but there's no such option in manual.
Do you think it's possible somehow? Maybe
In worst case I will be forced to use only one big desktop, but this brings another caveats which I'd like to avoid.

Unfortunately not possible in the released version. I have multiple monitors working in an unreleased experimental version.
