Then the panwindows created on each screen could be used to do this, I suppose. But you don't get one on the edges of two connected screens with xinerama, for obvious reasons. > I would not take issue with you calling it impossible (I can't judge that > for myself), but pointless it is not. It's a highly-specific usecase. Pointless might be too strong a word. It's certainly not anything I intend to ever implement. The solution to it would involve: * Continually using XQueryPointer() to track where the pointer is. * Perhaps add an extra panwindow [1] to either edge of the physical screen and mark it "special" only to the pointer. (i.e., these are InputOnly windows) * The resistance can be inherited from EdgeResistance. [1] In your colourful description these are what provide the ability to allow for "stickiness". -- Thomas Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
