Needed a new monitor to replace a CRT monitor ... had a Syncmaster 712N ... looked it up oneBay - none for sale (other folks must agree that it's a great monitor). Therefore went out and bought another Syncmaster, this time a 2253BW. Solved the process of getting the native resolution by editing the choice of screen resolutions in xorg.conf. OK so far. Now to the point of this posting: How to I open two documents at once, side by side, so I can compare, edit, etc. between the two ? I know I can do it by resizing the open windows manually, but is there a more elegant way, analogous to using twin monitors ? My laptop has a 1024x768 screen, and half of 1680 is 840x1050, even better than the laptop (standing on edge) so I'm pretty sure I could read the text on the side-by-side windows, but how to get 'em that way ? Google hasn't been any help, nor have many searches at debian.org been fruitful. My applications for the twin windows are IceApe Composer and OpenOffice.org's Writer module.
