This issue came up before and it was decided that it shouldn't be
changed.  It is now a real problem for me because I'm using two
monitors with different vertical resolutions.  X can handle that
fine.  Part of the rectangular X screen is not available on the
monitor that has a lower resolution.  So far so good.

The problem comes in when I try moving windows from one monitor
to the other.  I've got a button on the default window border to
toggle max vertical size.  My plan was to simply hit this
button after moving a window from one monitor to the other to
cause the window to vertically span the screen of the new monitor
because e16 is smart enough to resize to the vertical size of the
monitor, not the vertical size of the X screen.  The problem is
that once I toggle the max vertical size of a window on monitor A,
I can never toggle its max vertical size on monitor B because the
window always jumps back to monitor A!

This basically makes toggling max vertical size useless in the
situation  where it is most needed.  I think it is important that
toggle max vertical size never affect the horizontal placement of
the window.  ISTM the vertical stuff should never touch the horizontal
coordinates and the horizontal stuff should never affect the vertical
coordinates.

Oddly enough, toggling absolute max size does not have this problem.
Also, the problem is not 100% reproducible.  After playing around with
max size toggle, the max vertical size toggle started to work properly
but then broke again then started working again.  But AFAICT, if I
open a window, toggle max vertical size, move it, then toggle max
vertical size again, it always jumps horizontally to where the max
vertical size was first toggled.


Peace, James
