I am using two displays, after I added these relevant changes to the
default xorg.conf (and enabled the restricted nvidia driver):
Option "TwinView"
Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024 1280x1024"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"
If I close gedit (or firefox or thunderbird, ...) while it's in a
maximized state, the next time it will start in my left virtual screen
every time. No matter if I start it from a gnome panel on either
monitor, or via Alt-F2, or from a console.
The main window does actually get created on the virtual screen where
the mouse pointer is. But after 1/10 of a second it invariably gets
moved to the left screen.
If I leave the main window unmaximized before closing it, the next time
I start gedit , it will start on the correct screen.
Perhaps related to this: I've initially seen this on Firefox, so I tried
the mozilla.org 3.0b5 linux binary and got the same behaivour. But if I
try with Firefox 2.0.0.14 from mozilla.org, the window gets created on
the correct screen when starting maximized. Unfortunately as soon as I
click anywhere on the window, it jumps to the left screen.
Tested with (fresh ubuntu 8.04 install):
- firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
- gedit 2.22.1-0ubuntu1
- metacity 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu4
- nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.12-16.34
- xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10
