when you set it to fullscreen it should just take up the whole screen, i'm assuming your problem is that it uses the entire xinemera display? You don't want to use xinemera for this, i've done something similar... just run two entirely different instances of X (e.g you will have an X running on localhost:0 and localhost:1) You could also just use a smarter WM like WindowMaker (maybe Sawfish can do the same?) that will remember the attributes of that app. > - I need to restrict mouse cursor movement so that the user can never > move it out of the first head and mess with the TV screen. > Even better could be to restrict the mouse cursor so that it never > moves out of the maximized galeon window in the first head. > How do I do that? This goes back to not using Xinemera. Xinemera is just for people that want one big desktop spanning multiple monitors.

There is an option to put in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4... can't remember what it is but the manpages will tell you.
