Sometimes I'd like to copy write something from one window to my editor or compare something.

So if I can put two workspace2 in one screen, so I can easily drag two windows to different workspace and get both fullscreen, and then start work on one of them.

Also I can buy another monitor, but it seems to cost too much and as the screen is getting bigger, two windows in one screen is acceptable.

Does X support a solution for this?

EDIT: I think what I want is related to this topic:

Or you can look at other windows managers, such as wmii, awesome or ratpoison changing the workspace paradigm and allow a better use of screen estate.

If all you need it dragging wwindows from one Workspace to another, the Desktop Effects in Linux gives you exactly what you want with all your workspaces on a cube, which you can:

  • rootate with the mouse
  • drag windows across the workspaces.

For more Info: you may refer to this Google books Link

However, this is in no way comparable to a 2-monitor workstation. You may even consider an old CRT which are available for Dirt cheap prices now

  • Actually I mean two workspace in same screen at the same time. Maybe I should call this windows layout, automatically align different windows in the same screen. – Sam Liao Aug 24 '09 at 09:02
