for me, dual-head makes a lot of sense whenever i have to understand
what's going on between components that don't comfortably fit on one screen.
as to whiplash, well, i don't really spin my head around that much at
work :) *but* i find a meter or analyser in the corner of my eye very
helpful. many things can be checked by a casual glance, without
requiring a full head turn. fwiw, i have my primary screen directly in
front of the keyboard and the other off to the side.
for me, ardour is a lot more fun on dual-head.

"People without working hardware
acceleration" includes anyone using more
than one monitor. X refuses to allow hardware acceleration with Xinerama.
Since multiple monitors are central to my working style (and that of many
recording studios), using OpenGL could have serious drawbacks.
Programs where it makes sense using two or more monitors are in my opinion
seriously crippled. Its about 2.3 million times faster (rough guess) to
press a key (to switch to another view) than to turn your head. In
addition, you can get wiplash (or something similar) by turning your head
too much. Please explan why I'm wrong, if I am.
