I don't really need my windows to span both displays. I'm perfectly fine
with windows being confined entirely on one screen or the other. But
I do like moving windows between the two screens occasionally. (Only
when starting a new application, and it comes up on the 'wrong' display.
Because I can easily move windows, I've never figured out the winprops
support. Would winprops work for the 'standard X multihead'?)

Sometimes it is more economical to purchase two lower-resolution devices
than one high-resolution device -- at least, that was the case five years
ago when I changed from a 1600x1200 fuzzy CRT to two 1280x1024 LCDs. I
didn't want to give up the screen space, but a 1600x1200 LCD was simply
not in my budget at the time. (I'd even bet money that my two LCDs draw
less power than that crummy old CRT. :)

In any event, thanks for the fine window manager. I hope to be able
to adapt my work habits to fit the new version at some point in the
future. :)

Thanks
