But that doesn't help if I ever want to switch anything on the secondary screen. It would effectively remove the virtual desktop functionality for all but one screen. I also wonder how the whole thing mixed with second video cards. Can you have one xrandr screen across multiple card? If not, how do you do triple-screen? I still think the whole thing is unworkable for anybody who ever rose over "oh I had this on Windows" functionality.
