Jack, Which of your monitors is the primary? I'm guessing it is the right hand one (note that monitor 1 is not necessarily the primary, you have the choice). If you set the primary monitor to be the left hand one then the xterm will appear on the same monitor for both cases below.
If it really matters to you then I could have a look at the code. Regards, Nick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jack Tanner Sent: 17 March 2003 23:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: two new -multiwindow bugs (By "new", I mean not discussed here before, not "new" as in only present in the most recent release.) Thank you for your time and effort, Kensuke, Harold, et. al. I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1. XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28. 0) the repeated keystrokes bug is still present in this release http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-03/msg00059.html 1) window positioning bug # Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 2. # Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 The xterm is positioned in the upper left-hand corner of monitor 1. Presumably, the xterm should get positioned on the same monitor regardless whether I use -rootless or -multiwindow. 2) window title bug # Xwin -rootless -multiplemonitors -clipboard # xterm -geometry +34+5 # TERM=xterm; export TERM # xterm -e bash -i -c "ssh -X [EMAIL PROTECTED]" The xterm window gets a title like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~". This is very pretty and very useful when you open a gazillion xterms, like I do. (The remote machine has an /etc/bashrc that sets up $PROMPT_COMMAND appropriately. For my stock RedHat 8 install, it's PROMPT_COMMAND='echo -ne "\033]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:${PWD/#$HOME/~}\007"'.) # Xwin -multiwindow -multiplemonitors -clipboard [snip. same xterm, TERM and ssh setup as above, but note -multiwindow, not -rootless Xwin invocation] The xterm window gets the title "bash". Awful, boring title.
