Theoretically this ought to be doable but it sounds like something that could break a lot of code assumptions and might be a heck of a lot of work to fully implement and make reliable. I think a more detailed justification for this is needed.
jerzyo, if you're still around could you please explain in more detail why people would want this and how they'd make use of it? ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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: Incomplete 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.
