instructions to use multiple Qubes-Whonix-Workstation VMs had to be updated (and complicated) due to this. Addition:

If the AppVM is connected to any Whonix-Gateway other than sys-whonix, apply the following instructions.

{{CodeSelect|code= sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d }}

{{Open with root rights|filename= /usr/local/etc/sdwdate-gui.d/50_user.conf }}

Add the following text -- replace sys-whonix2 with the name of the VM of the other Whonix-Gateway.

{{CodeSelect|code= gateway=sys-whonix2 }}

'''4.''' Save the file.
