<p>I use a stacked dual monitor with my laptop and a larger monitor on top at home and horizontal duo at work, the latter rig is on 4" high stands with separate keyboard and mouse between.<br>
I kinda miss the multihead capabilities of a desktop tower form factor.</p>

As with many things Linux, the answer is complicated and depends on your<br>
exact configuration:<br>
<br>
Usually a left and right monitor are part of the same overall desktop.<br>
and everything works like one big monitor. Cut/Paste/Drag/Drop all work as<br>
one. Applications all see it as one big Monitor, Enlightenment seems to do<br>
a better job of maximizing to a screen that Ubuntu 10.04/Gnome wich<br>
maximizes to both.<br>
<br>
My main desktop runs three monitors, the bottom two are on one video card<br>
and a top left one is on different card. The third runs a bit like a<br>
seperate computer (but it is not); Cut and paste work from it to the<br>
others, but you can not drag and drop apps, or run them in each.<br>
<br>
I typically run Twinkle, Skype, a music player (vlc, streamtuner..<br>
etc.. )and Chrome in my top left monitor, and xterm, Firefox and<br>
Evolution on my bottom desktop / dual heads.<br>
<br>
My laptop and another desktop I use are both running dual's on Bodhi<br>
(Ubuntu + Enlightenment) and they seem to have a different paradigm that I<br>
am slowly falling on love with.<br>
<br>
But yes, cut/paste/etc.. all just works. really well.<br>
