Cause i was upset how the new Leopard handles multimonitor (out of the 
box), i thought about a better way for haiku.
I think it would be intuitiv, if you can choose a Workspace to be 
rendert to a extarnal Monitor.
e.g. by default Workspace 2 is shown on the first external Monitor, 
Workspace 3 on the second and so on.
I think this is how the user would expect it.


Switiching the workspaces will only work on the "first" the main Monitor.
So if the main Monitor shows Workspace 1 the hole System works kind of 
an expanded Desktop. If the User switch to Workspace 2 it works like a 
mirrored Deskop.

I guess this will be hard to implement.. but i think it will be such a 
pleasure.

There must be some aditional settings, eg. if you wanne show the Deskbar 
on the external Monitor and also to set the main Monitor.

For the Mediaplayer it would be intuitiv, that it start Video on the 
exteranal Monitor, if one is connected. (beacuse normally this means 
someone attached a better Monitor.. and want to look on this Monitor 
videos (like beamer or so.)) The Controlpanel still can sit on the Main 
Monitor.

This are just my ideas, i am not so shure if someone already had made 
this suggestions...
Sorry for my bad english :)
