Exposé: Automatically update when a new window opens/closes

Automatically update Exposé on new/closed windows.

Improve the UI for multiple monitors
OS X was developed in the days when a single 19 inch monitor was hot stuff. It was not designed for multiple monitors. As a result, it reduces the potential usability and productivity improvements that multiple monitors provide. Now that big LCDs are (more...)
