I had a look at the workspace margins settings. All of the margins are
set to 0. Well, I'd like, at least, to be able to use all of the space
available on the 2 screens where the taskbar isn't.
If everything's was perfect, there would be a taskbar in each of the
screens, listing only tasks which run on that screen.
Anyway, XFCE is an excellent window manager. A best Xinerama support
would be a plus.
