Fwendt: bad usage of screen/display

2008-05-04T21:03:04Z

bad usage of screen/display

New page

I think this pages needs to be cleaned up regarding what words are used - the problem being that screen and display are used as if they where the same.
I'm one of those really happy about the great parts xrandr1.2 has given us with regards to dual screen stuff, but equally sad that it doesn't support more than one display. (I can no longer have two displays working independently, which is a regression back to what windows users have.)
I'll do this rewriting next time I'm up too late unless someone tells me not to, or if someone else gets to it before I do. :)

 I find that the lower Menu Bar is retained on both screens, and further, that each menu bar on each screen retains the chosen number of Desktop Windows. In that event there are as many individual desktops available to both screens as one chooses to establish.
