I guess it is more a JabRef phenomenon:
Looking into ~/.java/.userPrefs/net/sf/jabref/prefs.xml before
starting JabRef and after running it and changing the window size
seems to indicate that the values for window size and "origin" are
stored in posX, posY, sizeX and sizeY.

Sounds reasonable, I'll discuss this issue with the upstream authors.

Thanks,
gregor

Bug#383441: does not respect xinerama heads

2006-08-17 Thread martin f krafft
Package: jabref
Version: 2.1-1
Severity: normal

This may well be a problem with the AWT libraries, in which case
please reassign.

If I start jabref on a Xinerama multihead setup, the splash screen
is displayed in the logical middle, so half of it is on one and half
on the other screen.

Then, when the main application window appears, it will always
appear on the head where it was last closed. Apparently, jabref
saves the dimensions when it shuts down. Those dimensions are,
however, not Xinerama aware. If I have two 1024 screens, then it is
true that windows on the right screen are positioned with x value
above 1024, but what should really be saved (if at all) is the
position relative to the current head, and not the head itself.

I suggest that Jabref at least gets an option to disable all forms
of dimension storage, and that this option is turned on by default
on Debian. Dimension of windows is the job of the window manager,
not of the application.
