As its not, the full power of having xinerama run with independent heads is lost. To scroll the desktops via mouse wheel is a feature I have enjoyed since e16 was in the Debian repositories and missed it when e17 first started up. I never expected to get independent heads and this is unique in all the window managers I have tried with xinerama.

Re: [e-users] interesting thing happened with xinerama
I believe this is how E17 is designed - and I've been using it for so long I cannot even think of going back to using any other desktop environment. The icons for windows in the pager is also another reason I use E17 everywhere.

[e-users] interesting thing happened with xinerama
Hi All Thanks for your help in compiling e17! I have managed to get it running in dual heads with a laptop and external lcd. It it now able to run dual monitors in xinerama and also have independent heads! Xinerama allows me move open windows from one head to another as if it were one big monitor. Normally, when changing desktops, both heads were linked and both would change to next desktop together. This is also what is normally seen in other window mangers. However, when I configured the mouse wheel to scroll the desktops up and down the heads became independent of each other and yet I could still move open windows from one screen to another. Cool! This makes xinerama with independent heads! even more useful! This is what I did to get the mouse wheel do this: 1) L click desktop 2) select Configuration -> Configuration Panel -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse Bindings 3) click "Add Bindings" 4) move mouse wheeel up 5) click on "Mouse Wheel Up" on LH column 6) click on "Flip Desktop Linearly..." 7) set "Action Parameters" to "1" 8) Set "Action Context" to "Container" 9) click "Apply" button 10) move mouse cursor on to desktop and test wheel 11) do same for mouse wheel down but put set "Action Parameters" to "-1" After this the heads became independent! Can some one else repeat this! cheers Russell - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits.
