With an Nvidia dual-head display, I have some inconvenient experiences 
with WindowMaker.  Most prominently, new windows that are created in the 
center of the display are split between the two monitors.  I wish Window 
Maker could somehow know that I have 2 monitors and stop starting 
programs in a way that straddles the 2 monitors.

Have you ever wished for that functionality?

I'm using the Nvidia Twinview configuration, so the 2 1280x1024 monitors 
are seen as one single monitor 2560x1024. Window Maker scales the 
background images all the way across both monitors.
