> Why not Unity-2D? Because Unity-2D doesn't work with Xinerama either. It puts everything on my left monitor, and puts an identical copy of the screen on the second and third monitors. If I try to drag something off the left monitor it just disappears, and clicking the mouse on the second or third monitor has no effect.
The *only* combination that (more or less) works for me (on a system which is by no means old or exotic) is the proprietary driver with GNOME Classic without effects. If that is the only thing that Ubuntu can offer me, then it's not unreasonable to expect it to at least work correctly. > To the contrary, this is a metacity behavior, not by Ubuntu's design. I get that it isn't by design. That's what makes it a bug. And I understand that the bug is in metacity, that's why I filed the bug on metacity. I understand that Ubuntu doesn't have unlimited resources, but this bug can't be that hard to fix. Note that the window is initially opened on the *correct* monitor. But then (once it first receives the focus, it appears to be, which isn't always immediately) something (presumably metacity) moves the window to the wrong monitor. It is active behaviour, probably a feature which is misfiring, which can't be that hard to just turn off or disable, or at least make configurable, for someone familiar with the metacity codebase. Perhaps it even already is configurable, if only someone could tell me how! I'd also like to point out that there is no evidence that this is specific to Nvidia, or even Xinerama. The only way I can get multiple monitors to work at all is with Xinerama, but for all I know the same would happen without it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727928 Title: Upon starting a program full screen with NVIDIA Xinerama, the window is immediately moved to the wrong monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/727928/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
