I agree.  I'd like to be able to drag across monitors,  but not if that 
means Xinerama 'big desktop'.

Yeah, that's what it can do, it's very easy to work with. One thing is 
missing tho,  and that's that you can't have a seperate panel/taskbar 
for each monitor, like we can have with Xfce.

Yes, that would be very nice.  Also some KB way of jumping from one 
monitor to the other.  I wrote a program to do that, but it would be 
great to have it built in.
