You can't move a window between screens. For a start, many server-side entitites (e.g. pixmaps) are tied to a particular screen, so the client won't be able to use existing pixmaps (etc) if the window was to suddenly move to a different screen. Also, the new screen may have a different depth, visual etc, and the client isn't expecting these properties to suddenly change. You either start the client on a proxy X server with "mobile" output (e.g. Xvnc), or this sort of thing has to be done in the client. -- Glynn Clements <gl...@gclements.plus.com> _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
