Summary:                    Workspace margins can't go past 400 pixels
Description: 
With multiple monitors it is helpfull to have your marked workspace on just
one monitor.  My desktop is 3200x2400 (two 1600x1200 lcds) so 400 pixels
doesn't help.  Having the workspace margins able to adjust up to 16000
would be a (hopefully) easy and fast way of better supporting
multi-monitor setups like mine.

Thanks for at least the due consideration.

oliver, I think this is because in xfwm4/mcs-plugin/margins.c in
add_margins_page the limit is 1/4 of the result of 
gdk_screen_height(), which gives only the height of 1 screen (reproducible
for me on my setup as well, although I dont have 'real' xinerama, just
nvidia tv out xinerama emulation ;))

Or am I on the wrong track here ? ;)

Margins aren't for emulating Xinerama: xfce has got a pretty good Xienarama
support since version 3, the user should simply enable Xinerama in xfce. 

It's really not a bug, just a misunderstanding/misuse of margins.

Olivier.

I resolve this as it's not a bug. Margins aren't for this use.
