IMHO this is why window managers have virtual desktops. I use six on each head. Usually four of each six have a plan as to what's running on them, and the other two on each head are for parking things when I don't need them. > Additionally (although rare) there are those times I would like to > stretch an app to span both heads.

If you like it, use it. I do, from time to time. But I *am* against imposing artificial limits on what windows do, just because I've selected it. If I'm using Xinerama, and I tell that window to *maximize*, it better damn well *maximize*. Across both heads. Anything else is the window manager trying to do my thinking for me. -- Marc Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.cox.net/msw
