I do this, and it's terrific. Why drag things across monitors when they are different resolutions and quality (as in my case). I use monitor 0 for panel (kicker), email, and newsgroups, and compiling (1024x768) and monitor 1 for browsing, graphics, program testing, windows (boo hiss) at 1280x1024. My ONLY gripe is that E thinks the desktops are the same for both monitor heads, so my background and settings and themes are the same for each desktop on each monitor. Interestingly, I can change a theme on one monitor, but that will become the default for E next boot for both screens. Also, if I use ROX pinboard, all desktops and virtual desktops then will share a single background on one monitor only. But, back to topic, multi head is the way to go for me. > >> >> Cheers, >> Daniel Stonier. >> >> >> ------------------------------------------------------- >> This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal >> Use IT products in your business?
