This is an application-level issue. some apps remember their location on screen. the apps have no idea that each screen is treated differently by the wm, but they blindly ask for their location of "+1700+20" (the right screen). e obeys and puts them there. you need to use window remember and locks features for these apps. remember the locks, and lock the program from changing position. > Hi > > >From time to time I read some threads about e17 and a two screen > configuration.
