Welcome to IWETHEY!

New I think this is clearer.
[link|http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2004-July/msg00035.html|Gnome-list]:

I'm trying to be able to view different virtual desktops on different monitors. For example, if Metacity has four virtual desktops and I have two monitors, it would be nice if I could control those monitors to view any two virtual desktops.


It took him a couple of attempts to put it that succinctly though. ;-)

[edit:] Formatting...

Cheers,
Scott.

New Yes, that is clearer
I am not surprised that it took him a while to find a succinct way to put it. I spent a surprising amount of time trying to make my initial question clear, and obviously didn't succeed.

I guess one take-away is that a concrete example is always good when attempting to clarify things.

Cheers,
Ben
