Hi,

got a two display Windows 10 system here.

I'm using the XFCE desktop started with startxfce4.

The whole desktop is in one Windows 10 toplevel window, that I can move to
either one of the displays.

Can you make XFCE full screen over both displays?

Or can you start two XFCE desktop windows, one for each of the displays?

Thanks,

Juergen

Sure, try 'startxfce4 -- -multimonitors'

Something like 'startxfce4 -- -screen 0 @1 -screen 1 @2' should be what 
you want there, but xfce doesn't seem to use the 2nd screen window (so 
perhaps some additional configuration to xfce is needed there...)

The options after the double dash are provided to the X server, XWin. 
See 'man XWin' for more details.
