The thing is, mouse travel IS a problem on massive multi-display systems. I have 2x24" center panels and 2x17" rotated panels. On the Mac, I have to pick which screen will be the main one and move my mouse as far as 5000 pixels to get to the Apple menu. On Windows or X11 this is way less of an issue, even if the menubar isn't infinitely deep.
I'm thinking about adding a 3rd rotated 17" panel and a third 24" panel. This means a width of 8832 pixels. Why should I have to move the mouse so damn much?
