I now have separate X windows for each monitor, and I can run programs in each. Interestingly I had no trouble setting this up in KDE, but Gnome gave me problems. (I'm currently using Gnome because KDE is giving me grief with sound, but that's another story...) A couple of oddities - I can't move a window from one screen to the other just by dragging. Is this to be expected? (This works fine with Windows 7), and the second screen's bottom panel is only showing 2 virtual windows instead of the 4 on the first screen - even though the preferences says there are 4. I'd also like to have different wallpapers on each monitor. Is that possible?<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6899','Derrick Ashby'); return false;">Reply</a> | <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('6899','Derrick Ashby','Thanks for the tip re the failure to pass the xconf file.
