I dont know much about this topic as I dont have a dual screen. What I do know is that 'full full' screens are not really something you would want. A malicous software could grab that 'full full' screen and start asking for sensitive information. I also had an issue with 'full full' screen and then using RDP (that's what I use windows for anyway) and then not being able to regain control into my dom0 window manager, because something crashed or got stuck I was actually forced to reboot my machine. I ended up using windows non-seamless, as a 'qubes-normal full screen' on my very last xfce desktop. thats where my windows lives and I'm happy with that setup. Your situation is different, but this is just my two cents on how it works best for me. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
