Multiple-Display Power Tools For Linux?

shift writes "I've used multiple monitors for years (currently 3) and find that Linux is lacking in power tools for such setups. Even Windows 7 has added the feature to move a window from screen to screen with keyboard shortcuts. Are any of the major desktop environments adding such features? I'm still stuck on FVWM and have defined functions to swap the contents of screens as well as move windows from screen to screen and so on. But this just seems like such basic functionality people would want in multi-screen setups that I'm surprised I don't find any of these features in our latest desktop environments."

FVWM is a windows manager that has been around with few major functional changes for several decades.

It true! My grandfather used this back in the 30s and 40s! He stopped when he was drafted into WWII, but that's a whole different story....

I am looking for my van to take hairpin turns at 250mph....are you not going to suggest that maybe I should be looking for a different vehicle :-)

Two choices:

1. Look for steeply banked hairpin turns.
2. Drop the van on a hairpin-covered trampoline on the Moon. You'll need to be in a vacuum because your van's terminal velocity in Earth's atmosphere is less than 250 mph.

You're forgetting Moore's Law for Gravity, which makes it stronger every 18 month. Any velocity less than c would eventually fail to be enough for escaping.
