I've been trying out XFCE4 and have to say I rather like it!  Lightweight
and mostly just gets out of the way.  However I've had no luck getting it
to support an extended (Xinerama) desktop, though I've found reference to
people praising its implementation. The tour (http://www.xfce.org/about/tour)
mentions that it handles this, though the screenshot of the config app
gives no indication of how, and that's the config app I've got.  Anyone
have any ideas?  Or decent resources that explain all the hidden knobs and
buttons?

One thing I did find, which is excellent, is <Windows>-P to quickly
configure which display to use.  Excellent because I'm regularly switching
between laptop and desktop mode.  But I want to be able to use both screens
when I'm connected!
