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". -- Alessandro Pellizzari ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
