Multimonitor screen

[Harold L Hunt II]

You answered your own question in the subject of your message.

You can use the -multimonitor command-line parameter for XWin.exe to 
create a window that spans multiple monitors.

However, this flag does not yet work in conjunction with the 
-multiwindow command-line parameter... though it would probably be 
trivial to make it work.


Are you using the -multiwindow command-line parameter?
