Many thanks for the help. I tried it yesterday without success,
possibly because my windowmanager (fvwm) needs tweaking. I will post
back with succes or failure in the next few days.

Best wishes,

You perhaps are not familiar with the Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy. A picture is worth a thousand words:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/gallery/tv/zaphod2.shtml
Meet Zaphod Beeblebrox.

(Unfortunately you don't get quite the same effect using the Zaphod
from the new movie. Nobody stacks twinview/cinerama like *that*!)



Cheers,

Two headed. Duh! I should have figured it out. I heard HGG on the
radio in the 1970's (?).
