Gnome 3 multi monitor support

Tags Grind My Gears 

Gnome 3 multi monitor support is _really_ bad.

One of the things is that the secondary monitor only has one virtual desktop.

To make it behave more like 1 large desktop (so a virtual desktop spreads over both monitors), disable the following setting in gconf editor:

/desktop/gnome/shell/windows/workspaces_only_on_primary

This makes things a slight bit more doable.

I truely hope they improve multi-monitorĀ  support in gnome3.

on a side note, gmpc 11.8 seems to get little attention, could be a good thing and a bad thing.
