You've encountered some tricky issues with your window manager setup. It seems the problem lies in how wallpapers are applied across multiple displays. The AWM IRC channel no longer exists, and the recommended workaround didn’t help. Your current configuration tries to use `--bg-tile` but isn't working as expected. You mentioned experimenting with code to manage wallpaper changes, but it didn’t yield consistent results. It looks like you're trying to sync wallpapers between two screens, but each screen is loading the same image and tiling them together. The suggestion to use `screen.connect_for_each_screen` was a partial fix, yet not fully reliable. You might want to double-check your theme files or consider using a more robust method for managing background images across displays.
