e has some internal logic to decide screen number (sorting etc.) - or well it
used to with xinerama - it'd sort with the screen with the most pixels on it ==
screen 0 (primary) and in some cases you'll find your primary screen switches
around on addition of a new monitor - but i think somewhere along the way this
was dropped just taking whatever randr say the screen numbers are to avoid
weird moving-around of stuff.

no it doesn't mean that. it means what you think. window:moving - move to next
screen / move to previous screen .. work for me. not virtual desktops... to
screen - like monitor. i just tested it. you can move windows also by just
dragging them across to the other screen or use the pager to do it (dnd mini
window from pager on one screen to the pager on the other). also menu "move
to.." select screen + desktop to send the window too (alt+right mouse on menu
or clikc icon on titlebar). so there are a plethora of ways of doing this

screen setup is the tool. otherwise use xrandr (it's a cmdline tool 0 not part
of e - part of x11 tools).

one of these days i'll go fix up multi screen setup to do things like "when i
plug in a screen pop up "dialog" to ask if the new screen should expand (which
way) or mirror some existing screen. that was on the list of stuff to do. also
current dialog has some problems with resize and positioning - close, but not
quite there (corner cases).
