A main feature is that the same workspace might be shown on any of the monitors, which clearly only works sensibly if they are all the same size. But I like the option to set them up automatically if the XRandR info shows that the screen configuration is appropriate. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- Wayland: Those who don't understand X \X/ rhialto/at/falu.nl -- are condemned to reinvent it.
