Well, I haven't yet contributed any code to the project, but:
Personally, I think that the coolest thing about having multiple
monitors would be being able to drag a window that's in your
way on one monitor over onto the next monitor.
All monitors sharing the same workspace -- not sure how much
trouble it would be to allow the different monitors to all have
different resolutions and refresh rates...(?)
I seem to remember some Mac preference where you could drag
the little squares around (each representing a little screen/monitor)
to logically arrange screens to match where the monitors physically
were on your desk (never tried it, but it looked just the coolest!).
After all, I thought the purpose of workspaces was because most
folks couldn't afford to have multiple monitors with the cool set-
up as described above.
