Hi,
This isn't a fedora question specifically, however just thought I'd
run it
by to get some feedback.
I've had a multi-card/multi-monitor setup for a few months now. It
has been
a royal pain. (Only the closed drivers can handle it unfortunately).
I was
talking to the radeon/ati driver people and have been informed that
multi-card setups don't get much love from either the driver
developers or
upstream/xorg. So I've figured I may move from 3 monitors back to 2
larger
(24") monitors. So after that history, here comes the idea...
I'm wondering if it is possible to have 'fake' monitor
borders/dimensions.
So you instruct xorg/gnome/xinerama or whatever that the 1900 pixel
width is
2/3rd + 1/3rd. If I were to click maximize within either of those
imaginary
borders, it would maximize to that size instead of the 1900 px
width. If I
double clicked, it would then go fullscreen...
Does this sound at all useful? Opinions / critiques...

Does gnome support this? That would be very nice.
I don't know that I agree with Nathaniel's recommendation. Tiled window
managers do a lot of neat things, and are worth checking out, but I
don't think they solve your problem specifically.
XRandR might be able to be coaxed into doing what you want. You also
might be able to get Compiz to display 3 workspaces across 2 monitors.
