Attached is a working patch for this issue which assigns a screen value to the instantiated Unity2dPanel which is then used to determine the panel's geometry in place of the widget itself.
A few notes: 1. this patch was created against a clean branch from lp:ubuntu/oneiric/unity-2d, so I'm not clear if it will apply cleanly to the latest precise branch/dev. I'm happy to look into it. 2. the default value for m_screen might be better as -1 since the QT docs suggest that the screenGeometry will default in that case ( http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qdesktopwidget.html#screenGeometry ) 3. it's only been tested on my desktop setup and not the desktop environment this will most likely be run under ( gnome fallback? ) I've done my best to adhear to the coding guidelines I found in the repository, but any and all feedback is welcome/greatly appreciated. ** Patch added: "use_screen.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+attachment/2559505/+files/use_screen.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/877012 Title: [panel] on a multi monitor setup the panel length appears to be calculated with the screen in focus at the time of execution To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-2d/+bug/877012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
