The module implements a proper way of finding out whether the window is
remote or local.
Just checking for a hostname and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE being equal is often
not enough because the hostname is a changing subject (without any
established notification mechanisms), and thus WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and the
hostname can diverge even for a local window.
This module solves the problem. As soon as there is a new window created,
we check the hostname and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE, and then we cache the result
into the XMONAD_REMOTE property.
Notice that XMonad itself does not know anything about hostnames, nor does
it have any dependency on Network.* modules. For this module it is not a
problem: you can provide a mean to get the hostname through your config
file (see usage). Or, if you don't like the hassle of handling dynamic
hostnames (suppose your hostname never changes), it is also fine: this
module will fallback to using environment variables.
