[AuckLUG] Edge Resistance or Stickiness for Dual Screens

[Ravi Chemudugunta]

I don't have my dual screen setup right at this time so I cannot test
this...but have you possibly tried holding down the err .. windows key,
shift key, alt key or any modifier keys while moving between screens ... not
ideal but worth a try.

also may not ideal ... but on consoles both vc's and in x11 vc's, typically
you can shift page up/down and move up and down the buffer...
