We have discussed this issue for a while, but i doubt that will ever be
done on first install. We will probably create some kind of tool, do it
at a later stage, but it is impossible to autodetect the "perfect"
configuration for more than one monitor.

How can we detect if the second monitor is RightOf the first? or Left?
or on top? ;)

Our policy is also to reduce to the minimum amount of questions as
possible during an installation. You might have noticed that yourself
alredy.

Perhaps :-)
