Re: [wmii] Separate Wmii instances on Matrox Millennium G450 DualHead

I honestly don't like the way it plays with Xinerama turned on.
Windows auto stretch across both monitors and won't stick to one
monitor. Also the idea of having to windows with their individual
tagging is appealing. I initially got the idea from here:

But that was 2 years ago I guess.
