Whats the point of multihead?  I grew up w/ multihead on macs.  It 
was a given, if you had multiple cards you had a bigger desktop.  I 
guess its just the way I think but thats "normal" behavior for a 
multihead system.  When I first tried to do multiple heads on an ss20 
and I couldn't drag things between screens I thought "well this 
sucks, do ALL X11 systems do this?" and then a year later Xinerama 
came out and made X11 work like a "real" multihead system.  Its not 
perfect, Macs allow you to run multiple displays at different bit 
depths/resolutions w/ different cards seamlessly but it will get 
there.
