virtual desktops

There's a very serious difference between how most windows users handle their desktop compared with how X11 users do the same. Most windows users stick with one screen and do heavy management via the task bar. Traditional X11 users tend to open up multiple desktops, set up their applications (not as icons) and flip between the screens.

I've found using the X11 virtual desktop paradigm that having dual heads (each with independent sets of virtual desktops) doesn't really make me that much more productive.

Today I'll use multi heads as a necessity as a result of using mini laptops which by themselves don't have enough screen real estate.
