Which branch should I checkout to test this?
The dv/pager-noaspect should work now, but I've not tested it with multiple monitors. By default, the pager uses no more than 25% of the screen size (the root window size) in both directions (and tries to maximize within these limits), i.e. the default is AutoScale 25 When the desktop is resized with the "desktopsize" command or by adding or removing monitors, the window is resized within the given limits to match the aspect ratio. (That happens even if the user has manually resized the pager window). Things to test: * When the pager window is created or the desktop layout changes, the dimensions of the *current* desk are used for size calculations. I'm not sure if there are unwanted effects if the pointer is on a different screen than the pager window when that happens. Is this still something one would have with Xrandr? * Multi-monitor setup with one screen, i.e. one fvwm manages all monitors. * Multi-monitor setup with multiple screens, a separate fvwm instance runs for each screen. * Add and remove monitors in each setup.
