Start for a new dual screen set up of mine. Sadly the monitors aren't the exact same resolution. Still needs a lot of work, but works for now.
OS: Ubuntu
Dock: Cairo-dock (does the notification area and top left drop down menus too.)
Date, Clock Emai, Weather etc: Conky (slightly modified from a popular script).
Calendar, Events + To Do list: Rainlendar.
Considering RSS feeds on desktop too, but dunno if that would just be too much clutter.
