Another reason (e.g. my case) is one dual head video card, but |
| 23 |
monitors with different dpi and colorspace. I tried xinerama: it |
| 24 |
looks really ugly on such setup. |

One more reason already mentioned by Grant is true for my case too: |
| 27 |
in my window manager (e16) I can have independent desktops on each |
| 28 |
screen, but not in xinerama mode. Probably this can be fixed in |
| 29 |
software, but might require a lot of work. JFYI dwm allows |
| 30 |
independent work on xinerama screens, but I have another issues |
| 31 |
with dwm. |
