well look at the current one and see whats wrong with it :) easy to spot:

1. "restore on login" never actually works (just try it) - literally code
missing to do it.
2. it doesnt allow us to configure multiple screens.
3. nothing to set up some kind of "when plugging in or removing a screen always
do x, y, z" settings (eg always configure new screens at native resolution, if
available, otherwise use resolution X or highest resolution, with rotation x,
y, z etc., or on discovery of new screen ask me what to do with it, on removal
of screen, leave screen as-is, remove it, etc.).

basically think of the things that we don't even do now that other desktops and
os's do with multi-screen setup, and make us do that... AND then go a bit extra
and have some nice "policies" that you can enable by default so plugging in a
new screen always does what you want it to "move my main screen to the new
screen, keep it where it is, etc.)

well randr stuff - leif was going to do it anyway :) so i didnt see a point.
efm - this is a matter of using it and finding the bugs. many are very
obvious, some are more subtle, but using it and making it work solidly as a
"decent filemanager" (simple though).
