The following QnD patch *always* puts the windows on the first Display, which is a good thing for laptops, which rarely have an external Display attached.
The patch just ignores any existing Xinerama displays, so this patch will be annoying for everybody who usually have more than one display. While this is nothing for inclusion into the Debian package directly I think it may be interesting for some and also I think this should be made a gconf option (if not a gnome config option). Actually the patch should be even earlier, directly before the for loop before, but I am too lazy to change it now. Bye, Alain PS: There is definatly no code to prefer or even use the current active xinerama Desktop. --- metacity-2.12.3.orig/src/place.c +++ metacity-2.12.3/src/place.c @@ -607,6 +607,7 @@ /* try each xinerama in the natural ordering in turn */ i = 0; + goto out; while (i < n_xineramas) { meta_window_get_work_area_for_xinerama (window, xineramas_list[i], &work_area); -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
