Albert Astals Cid (aacid) wrote : Feature Freeze Excemption: Multimonitor support for Unity-2d

In order to provide an acceptable multimonitor experience in Unity-2d we request for a Feature Freeze Exemption so that we can merge the branches for Unity-2d and metacity that implement that feature.

The metacity code is needed to make it expose the propietary _UNITY_NET_WORKAREA_REGION atom, to support struts in the middle of the workarea and to report union of workspaces in _NET_WORKAREA instead of just one
Three bugs for that can be found at

The branch that is going to be merged can be found at https://code.launchpad.net/~aacid/metacity/metacity_multimonitor_struts

The unity-2d code is needed to make the unity-2d-shell, unity-2d-panel and unity-2d-spread binaries screen aware, it implements the design specifications for MultiMonitor
