Thanks, things are a lot clearer now :) There is just one thing that I still don't understand. Why the E_Desks are contained by a E_Zone and not by a E_Manager directly? I thought that when you "join" two physical screens with xinerama, they both share the same virtual desktops no? (I never used Xinerama so I may be wrong...) Or maybe the E_Desks from 2 E_Zones that belong to the same E_Container are the same?
