Multiple monitors is getting pretty common. Multiple screens doesn't
seem to be. I think all of the people I know that run multiple X11 on
monitors are using just a single screen (that's what Xinerama is for).
If you can drag a window from one monitor to another, it's a single
screen spread out over the two monitors. That's not what I have set
up: I'm not using Xinerama and instead have three separate X11 screens
(:0.0, :0.1 and :0.2). Each is a separte XFCE desktop with it's own
panels (task bar, applets, etc).
With non gtk-3 apps, I can select text on one screen and then paste it
on a different one -- but I can't do that with gtk-3 apps.
