I miss having a configuration where my screens were independent.
Xinerama seems to be the painless road, or at least the less painful
road, and I have more or less adapted.

If applications sanely supported multiple X screens (e.g., :0.0, :0.1,
..., :0.n), I would be much happier.  I like them being mostly
independent, but I do want the ability to "send" a running app from one
to the other sometimes without having to quit and re-start it on the
other terminal.

The last time I used a multi-X-screen instead of Xinerama setup, it only
lasted a little while before I went back to Xinerama mode.
