Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
It seems that asking Metacity to maximise a window vertically can make
it swap heads in a dual-head setup.
I'm using xrandr1.2 dual-head with two side-by-side screens. The left
hand screen is 1050 pixels high (but with a single 24 pixel high top
panel), the right hand one 1024 pixels high. Selecting a non-maximised
window on the left screen and hitting the "vertical maximise" hotkey
results in the window being moved to the left-most region of the right
hand screen and being vertically maximised.
Vertically-maximising a window on the right head behaves as I would
expect; it's horizontal position is unchanged, and its vertical size is
changed to fill the full screen height.
This is in some way related to the non-existence of panels on the second
head; when I add an empty panel to the top of the second head the
maximise behaviour on the left-hand head matches that of the right-hand
head.
