Hi

>From time to time I read some threads about e17 and a two screen
configuration. So there are at least some 'two-screen' users among us.

In may daily use of e17 with a dual screen configuration with Xinerama I
have become aware of different behaviour, when I open software.

OpenOffice, Scribus, Nautilus for example do remember the screen, where they
were opened the last time.
Thunar, Firefox, gnome-terminal on the other hand do not. They open on the
screen, the pointer (mouse) is in.

I would like to have some kind of 'fallow mouse/pointer option' in the
windows properties menu, to influence the default opening behaviour of
software. I guess, you could put it in the 'remember' section. I want all my
software to open in the screen, my mouse pointer is in.

I do agree with you, that moving a window from one screen to the other is
not a big deal, but that option would allow me to group the windows exactly
the way I want. And all that in a very easy way.

And there is another argument. ;) That option would allow me to switch of
one screen, when I don't need it, without having some 'lost' windows all the
time.

I am not a developer and I don't know if such an option is easy to
implement, but I would love that ...


 Thanks for reading

Martin
