Comment 278 for bug 668415

In my ongoing quest to find a solution for the brokenness Unity causes in my multimonitor setup -- without throwing *all* of Unity out the window -- I've been exploring LXDE and liking it a whole lot.

For those who would like to try it, I wrote a guide:

It's so lean and mean! A refreshing change from the bloat (XFCE is nice, but it's not as small as you might think).

The remaining option is that I break the walls in my office and staple my desk to the ceiling so that I can make sure that the leftmost monitor is my primary monitor, because that's the only configuration Unity supports. :/
