I periodically try multimonitor and found nothing that could work well
till now.

I think multimonitor should behave like this:

Selectable main monitor, not always the left-most one (like Gnome and
KDE do).

Panel on main monitor only, or separated panels with different applets
for every monitor.

Desktop icons on main monitor only

Different workspaces (I should stay on workspace 1 on monitor 1 when I
switch to workspace 3 on monitor 2, for example). I should even be able
to select a different number of workspaces (for example 10 on the main
monitor and 4 on the secondaries)

I should be able to move windows between monitors, but not have half a
window on one and half on the other. This should have the "side effect"
that when I "push" a window to a border but the pointer doesn't go over
the border, the window should resize to occupy half screen on that
border (like KDE4 and Gnome3)

When I launch an app it should open on the monitor with the pointer

There should be a keyboard shortcut (ctrl-tab?) to immediately move the
mouse pointer on another monitor (and select the top-most application on
that monitor), about on the same relative location (if monitors have
different resolutions). This should ease multimonitor use without
touching the mouse, useful particularly on notebooks.

Keyboard shortcuts should be the same for both monitors (with a single
configuration UI)

When making a window full-screen it should extend on its monitor and not
on the other

I don't care about backgrounds, I seldom see them :), but I think they
should be configurable separately.

I think this maybe mimics something like "workspaces of workspaces".
