From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah - this is what I meant. One virtual desktop per physical monitor.
I used to have it on a forked version of Openbox, but then I lost the binary and it doesn't compile anymore. If just makes much more sense to me and makes window management just a little easier. Especially when apps get confused about which monitor they're supposed to start on or try to be on both in an unhelpful way.
