My screen is too small :)

My normal screen would contain: an open igb with several tabs, the contracts screen, 6 chat screens etc..
MOst are layed above each other with small areas open so i can switch.

That means that I not even see a ship anymore, when dealing with contracts and all thats there. I can close all, or minimise them, but thats kinda a work and will have to be done anew after dt.

To use multi monitors would be ideal, especially if one could do that over several computers, like X-plane, but we are not yet so far in Eve.

So my suggestions is to make Gui Collection buttons.
On makes the screen as one likes it for trading and is able to combine that whole gui and add it to a button.
Then give all players like 5 Gui Collection Buttons.

(I even dare to ask for a way to easily export and import them for transport to other computers\chars)

You can browse to users/[name]/ccp/eve/[respective folder]/settings and overwrite the desired account's dat-files with desired ones. That to your last point.

Playing one account from multiple machines... I think you derped the wording! You can already expand your eve window to atleast two screens afaik. Either switch to window-mode b´via settings and stretch it over both screens or run a fixed window and adjust resolution to hilarious sizes.

You can share literally anything overview besides window position with that drag&drop. The only time ever using this when I want to take footage with 100% identical HUD setups over multiple clients. Else, *share overview* replaced it pretty well.

1. Switch to either windowed or fixed window mode, and alt-tab out to use a real browser. This will probably save you most of your screen real estate right there.
2. Stack your chats. Local goes in its own, intel channels can be grouped into a second, and everything else can be stacked in a third.
