Re: Spatial groups concept discussion

[Roland Everaert]

A few questions:

- How does this system works with multiple heads?
I also use StumpWM on a laptop and at home, I use a second bigger screen, so I 
wonder how the various cells will be organized, and does behave the navigation.

- How does behave a spacial desktop, when splitting a head to display 2 or more 
frames, did you prevent a window from another cell to fill out the new area 
automatically?
