I do this, and it's terrific. Why drag things across monitors when they are different resolutions and quality (as in my case). I use monitor 0 for
panel (kicker), email, and newsgroups, and compiling (1024x768) and monitor 1 for browsing, graphics, program testing, windows (boo hiss) at 1280x1024.
My ONLY gripe is that E thinks the desktops are the same for both monitor heads, so my background and settings and themes are the same for each desktop on each monitor.
Interestingly, I can change a theme on one monitor, but that will become the default for E next boot for both screens.
hmm...I had thought it would be an easy fiddle to create a second .enlightenment
directory, then edit .xinitrc with something like
/usr/bin/enlightenment -display :0.0 & /usr/bin/enlightenment -econfdir=.enlightenment-secondary -display :0.1
and start her up with startx. But...it didn't work (it spawns four instances of e).
Baffling. Now if I do the same thing but with
xterm -display :0.0 & xterm -display :0.1
in .xinitrc it works as I expected. What is the mechanics behind this - are they
deliberately intended to operate in a different fashion? And if it is supposed to
spawn across the multiple screen numbers, is it possible to send each command
unique arguments?
