Is it possible to do something like what Windows does? ie when switching to one screen, bring the windows that were on the second screen onto the primary screen?

Or something smarter?



man wmctrl

http://linux.die.net/man/1/wmctrl

Example script (didn't test, wrote it on the email itself:)

#!/bin/bash

windows=`wmctrl -l | cut -d" " -f1` # will make a list of all windows in all workspaces

for w in $windows; do
wmctrl -r $w -e -1,0,0,-1,-1 # move window $w top right corner to pos 0,0 and not change other stuff.
done



wmctrl does everything you want, and probably more. You can then make an entry on the menu, and bind a keyboard combination to it.

HTH,
