puppy FossaPup64 9.5 xfreerdp / multimon

If I work with an xfreerdp session with one screen and use / f full screen, everything is fine.
I need the RDP session with two screens (extended screen) and both in full screen.

xfreerdp /v:912.168.111.111 / multimon / monitors: 0.1 ...

This works correctly under a current Ubuntu. After starting, both screens are immediately in full screen.

It reacts differently under Puppy: After starting, only the left screen is in full screen. The right screen still shows the extended screen from the puppy desktop.
Only when I use ctrl / ALT / Enter does window mode become active and the second screen shows the extended screen of the RDP session.

However, the window mode is not pleasant, as unintentional shifting of the window can occur.
In addition, the full height of the Windows server's taskbar is not visible, the lower edge is cut off.

How can I get it to work with xfreerdp and two screens under FossaPup64 9.5 in full screen?

In the forum Github / xfreerdp I haven't found a solution so far.

I would suspect JWM. JWM does not play well with mpv in fullscreen, in FossaPup anyway.

I use dwm https://dwm.suckless.org/
It's 1 file, 60k, no configuration files.
dwm plays well with mpv.

I do not think you would like dwm.

I switched from JWM to xfce. This solves my problem xfreerdp / multimon.
Many thanks for the support.
