this is xubuntu 12.04, nvidia driver 295.49. lcds configured as separated
X screens. i do not really have problems with this. both screens look
very independent (e.g. different backgrounds.)
--multihead spawns two sawfish process and they seem to be happy out
there. i have sawfish-ness on both screens.
it is just that the warning is rather alarming/panicking and made me
hesitate about a different mechanism in sawfish to enable multi-headed
support.
cheers,
Rodrigo
