The only thing that I am missing is maximizing windows on the two 
screens separately. With the usual bigdesktop configuration, a maximized 
window will have the size 2560x1024 for me.

I would really like to have it maximized at 1280x1024 within the screen 
that I clicked on it.

Dragging windows between the two screen should be still possible, of course.
