Multi-monitor thoughts

Hi,

Thought I'd add my $0.02:

Implementation aside, one area I'd love to see improved is better
restoration of sane defaults after something goes wrong. For example, if I
start playing a game, it typically alters the resolution (and other
options). If the game crashes, I'm almost always left with a desktop in the
wrong resolution.

Alexandros' plan sounded to me like it would handle this display
restoration transparently, which would make me very happy indeed. Then
again, I'm sure there are many ways to implement that feature, so I'm not
suggesting that your concerns are invalid in any way.

Cheers,
