<delurk/> Ion shows on all screens even without Xinerama support. It treats the screens as if they were one, e.g. you can create frames that span several screens. With Xinerama, each screen is independent. It sounds like you don't have Xinerama (but I can't be sure; my screens are the same size). > > you can even change workspaces on one screen at a time. > > I am sorry but I don't quite understand what you are saying. Could you > elaborate on that point? You can create additional workspaces by hitting F9, and move between then with Alt+<digit>. If Xinerama is enabled, workspaces are local to a screen (i.e. each screen has its own set of workspaces, and they are controlled independently). If it is disabled, changing workspace will affect all your screens. -- Jamie Webb
