The main advantage of dual monitor support

We've already been discussing that on this ML, I think everything that
had to be said has been said. Tuomo only says three things which are
in essence, these :
- I won't support Xinerama
- Development on ion3 is coming to an end anyway
- I won't answer to questions that I am not responsible for

However he certainly is OK with people using ion3 for whatever purpose
they want and any hacks in the code they want (support of antialiasing
or Xinerama for instance) provided you don't bother him with that.

GIMP/Photoshop is a matter of personal preference (and money), but
using Gimp under ion3 is really fantastic. That's also a matter of
presonal preference but I think :

- combinating GIMP's shortcuts if you know/like them, and ion's
shortcuts for window management, is super-comfortable
- using winprops to position this annoying GIMP tool preferences away
from your drawing frame is cool
- switching from windowed to fullscreen mode is easy

Which in the end makes your mouse used only for the graphic art stuff
and eliminates useless and time-eating movements back and forth the
applications' options. Priceless :)
