Someone is. The 'full' release of the GGI, which is being worked on right now, has lots of multiheading support. The current 'preview' edition doesn not do this, though. Man, multiheading on PCs is a real can of worms... we'll do it as well as it can be done, though, and GGI for other platforms that have less braindead hardware than PCs will be able to be less constricted than the GGI for Linux/Intel.
