dual monitor, two desktops

Post by ryofurue »

Hello,

I've just started to use two monitors (dual monitor). The two monitors are treated as a very wide, single screen. There is only one taskbar. There is only one desktop.

Now, I want to change that. I want virtual desktop 1 to be displayed on monitor 1 and virtual desktop 2 on monitor 2. In other words, I want a separate taskbar in each monitor and I want the same desktop icons to be show in each monitor. How can one do this?

Cheers,
Ryo

With an extended desktop monitor setup, you can achieve dual separate panels by using 2 panels, adjusting the geometry of each so that one sits on one monitor and the other sits on the second monitor. You would have to create a different desktop setting than extended to achieve your other desire. Have a look at http://lxlinux.com/#4.
