Package: icewm Version: 1.2.35-1 Severity: normal
I use a laptop with an external monitor as the secondary monitor. I use xrandr to set up the second monitor, they are side-by-side. (I use xrandr from the command line, so this happens after icewm has started.) I can move the mouse all over both screens, but icewm doesn't let me drag a window completely onto the second monitor. A little piece of the window has to remain on the first monitor, similiar to how you can't place a window completely off-screen when you have only one monitor. It is probably just this safety mechanism that isn't aware of the extra monitor appearing. Icewm has no problem if it is started _after_ the second monitor is activated. Ideally, the x server should tell the window manager about such changes. If that isn't feasible, polling for changes is an option. On the road, I use the laptop with its built-in screen only. At work, (and whenever I can), I plug in an extra monitor and use xrandr to use it at its ideal resolution. I keep the machine on all the time, so a static setup doesn't work that well.
