If you want the old style E16 "single-big-desktop" feel, you can run
E17 with the fake xinerama options turned on:
-fake-xinerama-screen WxH+X+Y
Add a FAKE xinerama screen (instead of the real ones)
given the geometry. Add as many as you like. They all
replace the real xinerama screens, if any. This can
be used to simulate xinerama.
EG: -fake-xinerama-screen 800x600+0+0
-fake-xinerama-screen 800x600+800+0
Note that this is a dodgy way about it, but it works. E17's multiple
monitor support is what you see in E17 now, this is how its meant to
work.
