+Subject: [PATCH] Mainmon - Main monitor for the statusbar
+
+This small patch add a mainmon value to the config.def.h.
+It let's the user choose a monitor on which to have the
+statusbar show-up. The status will no longer follow which
+monitor is currently selected.
+
+It is especially usefull in two scenarios:
+- A monitor is setup vertically and has little room for the status.
+- Dwm is used in a public environment and it's user does not want
+  the contents of the status bar to be shown (i.e. on a projector).
