Yes, it sure does, it just defaults to making each screen separate which is
the opposite of what I'd like. In my xinerama days, I used e16 with my 4
LCDs as one giant display that all behaved as one big screen.

That's how e16 used to work, and how I like it :)

Ok, got that to work, thanks.
Now, how can I get a pager that shows me windows in all 4 screens like in
E16?
Pager settings don't seem to allow that. Does it mean I have to create 4
separate pagers in 4 shelves on 4 different screens now?

Aaah, I didn't find that one. I didn't want group by desktop, and didn't
realize I had to select taht and then use the magic checkbox you mentioned.
Thanks for pointing that out.

Obviously to each their own. I'm so used to E which I've used since 1999
back when Raster was on the other side of the cube wall and I could throw
things at him :)
It's hard to change now, I really like the one giant screen way of working
now.
So it seems that my only problem is that I can't have one pager for all my
screens on one scren anymore, can I?
Oh one other thing I forgot. What's my best widget for having something I
can click on and that runs 'xlock' for me (I don't want to use the built in
screen lock, it doesn't call xscreensaver with my custom hacks).
Thanks,
Marc
