If only they'd (gnome & xfce) improve dual monitor support just a bit 
more.  To be honest, they already do fairly well, except each one is 
missing something.  For example, on GNOME the "task switcher" knows 
which windows are on the same monitor as the task switcher, so they act 
independently if you make two, but that doesn't work on XFCE.  On XFCE, 
on the other hand, you can easily set both screens with their own 
maximized/stretched/whatever background, but GNOME canvases it over both 
screens.
