I believe this is how E17 is designed - and I've been using it for so
long I cannot even think of going back to using any other desktop
environment. The icons for windows in the pager is also another reason I
use E17 everywhere.
It maybe how its designed, but to scroll desktops by mouse wheel is not set
by default. As its not, the full power of having xinerama run with
independent heads is lost.
heads are independant in e17 always in xinerama - you simply added a binding
for wheel on the desktop bg. alt+mouse wheel has always changed desktops -
anywhere (even over a window). if you use alt+shift+arrow keys it will change
desktops (independently), as will ctrl+alt+left/right, alt+f1,f2,f3... and the
pager too will change desktops on THAT screen only.
To scroll the desktops via mouse wheel is a feature I have enjoyed since e16
was in the Debian repositories and missed it when e17 first started up. I
never expected to get independent heads and this is unique in all the window
managers I have tried with xinerama.
Feature Request: please set as default to scroll desktops via mouse wheel.
no - it's very bad to have by default. it is very easy to scroll the wheel
accidentally on the desktop - especially with middle mouse click menu. then
suddenly your virtual desktop changes as well as the menu popping up. it's bad.
if you really want it - add it by all means, but by default it's a bad idea for
usability. especially for new users. we do have alt+mousewheel by default
EVERYWHERE do this (actually missed popup by default - added).

Hi All
Thanks for your help in compiling e17!
I have managed to get it running in dual heads with a laptop and external
lcd.
It it now able to run dual monitors in xinerama and also have independent
heads!

Random quote of the last-time-I-ran-bash:
I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to speed around a city,
keeping its speed over fifty, and if its speed dropped, it would
explode! I think it was called `The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down.'
