Ok, after seeing folks flail about trying to figure out what the hell Xinerama is supposed to do, here is the simple answer. Recall one of the major advantages of the Macintosh was the ability to transparently connect multiple monitors. You could fill every slot with a video adapter and the OS

Hello I don't know who's doing the work with bbconf but I have a few suggestions for future features: It would be nice if you could change the way the clock in the toolbar shows the time (just the time or the whole date stuff, or 24h clock). Another thing is that the menu editor doesn't
