Multiple monitors, multiple workspaces?
I connected my laptop to my LCD. Using the laptop display hotkey I can switch between different modes - only laptop monitor on, only LCD monitor on, both on and display the same view, both on and the desktop is stretched (divided).
But, I'm looking for something else - I would like to have two workspaces, one visible on the laptop monitor and the other on the LCD.
Is that possible?

It is possible with compiz, but a bit tricky to set up. What graphics card do you have? That could be useful. Are you using metacity?

@Marcel Stimberg: the question you referred to was not actually answered IMHO. I don't want "one big screen" where I can drag windows and maximize them so it's "like two separate displays". I want a screen per workspace. No windows dragging and other tricks.

If I understand the question correctly, you would like to be able to switch workspaces independently for each screen, so that for example the left screen could be on workspace 1 and the right screen on workspace 3. This is supported by some window managers, most notably XMonad, and I personally find it extremely convenient in a dual-head setup. Moreover, it's perfectly possible to integrate XMonad with GNOME without sacrificing usability.
On my home machine I currently have a much simpler setup, with the default window manager. I like to have a music player visible on one of the screens at all times, so I just pinned the player to the visible workplace in order to emulate a “separate workspace”. This doesn't really solve a problem, but might be helpful anyway.

In Gnome
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
sudo gnome-tweaks
in the workspaces tab under "display handling" select "workspaces span displays" which means all the screens to act together. (when you switch on one, others will switch to that workspace as well)
you can select whether all the screens act together or individually
to switch between workspaces press ALT + CTRL +UP_ARROW/DOWN_ARROW.

I guess what we (or at least I) really want is to get the top & bottom panels on both monitors and have the bottom panel's application tabs only on the corresponding monitor.
Looks like it's not there yet but we can vote for it on ubuntu brainstorm.

In Gnome
sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool
sudo gnome-tweaks
in the workspaces tab under "display handling" select "workspaces span displays" which means all the screens to act together. (when you switch on one, others will switch to that workspace as well)
you can select whether all the screens act together or individually
to switch between workspaces press ALT + CTRL +UP_ARROW/DOWN_ARROW.

It is possible with compiz, but a bit tricky to set up. What graphics card do you have? That could be useful. Are you using metacity?

I use Asus eee PC 1015PEM. Don't know what metacity is...

@Marcel Stimberg: the question you referred to was not actually answered IMHO. I don't want "one big screen" where I can drag windows and maximize them so it's "like two separate displays". I want a screen per workspace. No windows dragging and other tricks.
