Commenting on Bryce's request for a use case for this. One use case would be how I use the Awesome window manager at work: I have two physical screens, on one I can have my text editor doing whatever programming is needed, on the other I switch between a workspace (called "tag" in awesome) containing terminal windows, a workspace containing documentation and a workspace with the webpage/application I'm working on.
I would use Awesome at home as well, if it wasn't for that it's not very user-friendly, and it will be a problem when my wife wants to use the computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393808 Title: Allow displaying different virtual desktops on different devices Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome When I plug in a monitor to my notebook (ubuntu 9.04) I can mirror my image or enlarge my desktop to display something on the second device with gnome-display-properties. I think that it should be possible to display different virtual desktops on different devices. If I have 4 virtual desktops, I should be able to display first desktop on one device, second desktop on another one etc. I should also be able to change displays on different devices separately.
