@TheMikeyR, I've been using it with my dual-monitor setup and haven't had any issues. Is there something in particular that wasn't working for you? The main thing you have to do in order for this script to work is to make your keyboard shortcuts reference your workspaces by number, rather than by name. See the "Configuration" section at the top of this file for more info on how to configure that. Let me know if that doesn't solve your problem!
Is it possible to declare an default icon for unknown windows?
@r00tbox take a look at the icon_for_window() function. At the end it just returns '*' if it couldn't find a match. You can change the asterisk to something else if you'd like.
How to install it?? Readme contains no instructions.
This gist has moved - please post any questions on the repository (linked above). The script file itself has instructions for how to install and use it, but feel free to open an GitHub issue if you have other questions.

Works really great! I was wondering if you have any idea on how to make this work on e.g. 2 monitors, where the 2nd monitor use F1, F2 for the workspaces?
