No, fortunately we're not :-) Your question shows that Virtual Screens are a very obscure feature. In the manpage they are probably only mentioned under the VirtualScreens keyword. "Virtual screens are designed to be used when you have several physical screens bound together with the Xinerama X extension." which practically nobody has (any more) in the first place. Each screen can then show a different workspace. This only works in a useful way if your screens are the same size. Which, I think, is less common today than it used to be (for instance laptops with an external screen attached would have different sizes). Also, a window that is supposed to be visible in both those workspaces can't be, because of X "limitations". So there is lots of tricky code to catch that sort of cases and prevent them. -Olaf. -- ___ "Buying carbon credits is a bit like a serial killer paying someone else to \X/ have kids to make his activity cost neutral." -The BOFH falu.nl@rhialto
