If you're on a dualhead, xinit displays some info
about the monitors.  If I do 'xinit `which icewm` --
:1' then this is displayed among the garbage:

IceWM: xinerama: heads=2
IceWM: xinerama: 0 +0+0 1024x768
IceWM: xinerama: 1 +1024+0 1024x768

Both monitors are 1024x768, so my display is 2048x768.
 I have no dead space.  The problem is that when I'm
viewing an 800x600 desktop with xvnc4viewer and I go
to fullscreen, it maximizes across all the desktop,
e.g. it becomes 2048x768.  This means that 400x600 of
the remote desktop is on the left monitor, and the
other 400x600 is on the right.  This makes using the
remote desktop a pain, and it also uses up the right
monitor, which I would be using to do different
things.

Ideally it would maximize to whatever monitor the
majority of the viewer is already on.  If the window
is on the left monitor when I hit maximize, use that
one; if it's on the right, use the right.  gqview does
this, I think.

Kinda, except that the KDE panel would overlap in the
case of a 1024x768 remote desktop, or on an 800x600
remote desktop there would be other windows showing.

I would prefer it be at least minor, since this is a
usability problem for me, but wishlist is okay.
