dual thunar

A script that will open 2 thunar's side by side, numbers are hardcoded (fix for your screen size, ect).

Required:

apt install xdotool

note: For slightly faster appearance you may want to add '&' at the end of xdotool lines, but that will make focus unpredictable (I'd like first window focused for example), which may or may not be an issue for you.

Re: dual thunar

Nice/funny extension would be to resize/move 2nd window based on first, but i can't get a proper xprop -spy, ideas? edit: It appears that to get some sort of resolution-change property with xprop -spy, one would need a fancier wm than openbox (aborting for the moment).
