New Can you simulate what you want?
Instead of 6 square virtual desktops, make 3 double-wide virtual desktops, perhaps? You would still have the issue of having to (somehow) run multiple views of the same application if you want to see it on both tubes at the same time, but it might reduce your desktop flipping a little.

Maybe you can get your boss to get you one of [link|http://www.digitaltigers.com/displays-atlas.shtml|these] and not need worry about it any more. ;-)

Cheers,
Scott.

New It is closer to...
just run 2 copies of X, one for each monitor. Then put 3 virtual desktops on one side, and 3 on the other.

Your suggestion gives me 3 possible pairs of virtual desktops up at once. This gives me 9 out of the 15 desired pairs of virtual desktops up at once. Any time that I'm interested flipping between the other 6 combinations, I'll be cursing away. :-/

Cheers,
Ben
