No, dammit! This is what you just don't get. I want two screens and the
possibility to move windows between them. This is also the way other Xinerama
users want to use it. The fact that Xinerama wasn't intended for this doesn't
mean anything what so ever. Why the #�%& don't you allow others to use
something in another way than you think should be the right way? You have
even said that you don't use Xinerama, so why on earth are you discussing
this so much?
It seems to me that the ones crying foul in this discussion are the ones who
are using dualhead instead. The ones using Xinerama wants to tweak it to be
more usable for the desktop. Xinerama with borders between monitors provides
options that no other solution does, and it eludes me why someone would deny
others this possibility.
