This glimpse of multi-monitor support for Pangolin just came in from OMG
Ubuntu:

www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/multi-monitor-support-to-improve-in-
ubuntu-12-04-video

I'm not sure what I'm seeing, exactly, but it looks as if the Launcher
is being duplicated on *all* monitors. This seems to fly in the fact of
Unity's claim to maximize screen real estate: here, we're swallowing
screen real estate everywhere. I makes more sense to me to let the user
decide which monitor the Launcher should go, and on which screen edge it
should appear. But, yeah, "won't fix," I get it.

I realize this is just an early demo, but at the very least it shows
that the Unity team is not ignoring multi-monitor support for the
future, and Pangolin may deliver ... something.

And I guess OMG Ubuntu is taking the role of community engagement that
Ubuntu is not doing itself. Why couldn't Ubuntu folk just told us that
they are experimenting with alternative solution, and linked us to a
wiki somewhere, instead of the curt "won't fix"? Look at this hundreds
of negative comments... So much ill will could have been averted by just
being more transparent with us.
