I used to run E17 on a Xinerama desktop until a couple of weeks ago
(using X.org 1.10 and E17 from svn -r 62822, as well as several older
versions during the last 1 or 2 years).

And yes, E17 just provided those nice virtual desktops per screen, there
was nothing I had to configure for it. I used distinct pagers for each
screen, et voilá.

I think there are specific keybindings to switch desktops on all screens
simultaneously (named something like "... (all screens)..."), but I've
never used them.

Bye,
