 This is r43660.

 After seeing ticket #5112, I wondered, where to provide this EDID and
 driver information. While the current monitor representation is nice and
 all, it's not really providing vital information.

 In my mockup, I therefore removed it and replaced it with simple text.
 Maybe there's more to show, but this is all information I currently get.

 I'd also be nice to have a more intuitive way to set the workspaces
 layout. The idea is to use something like a when inserting spreadsheet-
 table in a word-processor. Clicking the "4 x 1" pop-up menu will show a
 representation of the current workspace layout. Tracking the mouse, the
 user chooses rows and columns.[[BR]]
 Like this, for a 4 x 2 setting:
