the problem this would help solve would be for example to easily assign a full screen application, be it a webapp in a browser or a presentation, to a seperate display output channel, all this being done by an ordinary user with no expert knowledge on a desktop window management level. thank you. problem solved.
the alterternative would be to write xorg.conf from scratch, and that means the user has to work with the command line to assign a specific picture to a specific output and the user must learn the extremely poorly documented configuration language of xorg.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393808 Title: Allow displaying different virtual desktops on different devices Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome When I plug in a monitor to my notebook (ubuntu 9.04) I can mirror my image or enlarge my desktop to display something on the second device with gnome-display-properties. I think that it should be possible to display different virtual desktops on different devices. If I have 4 virtual desktops, I should be able to display first desktop on one device, second desktop on another one etc. I should also be able to change displays on different devices separately.
