Desktop OS: To be or not to be...

[Smokin Chevy]

I do have the Nvidia X Server settings app in Settings.  For each display
there were three choices.  I believe that one was disable, one was Twinview,
and the other was separate X sessions.  Now the display worked good for
moving windows from monitor to monitor when in separate X sessions and
xinerama enabled.  Twin view only allowed movement of windows between the
two screens that were physically attached to the same card.
