Hi, I just woke up so don't expect this e-mail to be particularly brilliant :p maybe I'm saying something that was already said, in this case, sorry and someone please explain it to me on PM in order to not pollute the list!
I think that show/hide buttons next to DPs are a nice and intuitive way (not one for both DPs though!). I am not using DualDisplayPicture so I have a question: I guess these buttons are pixmapped, right? Do these pixmaps exist already in skins? Now, about keeping the old behavior - I guess we should, right?... However, this can't be reproduced with just the show/hide buttons... and we need a right-click menu or something?
