Package: lxde Version: 6 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I installed a new system from jessie-rc2 last week. I chose LXDE desktop (new to me) when installing. I configured using LXRandR "Monitor Settings" to have my external monitor above the laptop LCD monitor. Then I'm pretty sure I used the Panel Preferences applet to change the Position of the Task bar from Monitor 2 to Monitor 1 (Monitor 1 is the one in the "top" position, my external monitor. What happens is, when I initiate almost any application, from a menu or from a desktop icon, the new window opens on the secondary monitor (laptop LCD). It's quite disconcerting, because the menu bar is on the other monitor and I have the laptop lid partly closed so I can see over the top. So it takes me a couple of retries before I figure out the window is opening on the laptop. There are two exceptions I have noticed, where the window opens on the correct monitor: Desktop Preferences and LXSession configuration. My windows manager is listed as openbox, and this bug may belong there. In fact while I was writing this bug I found a menu item under Preferences called Openbox Configuration Manager, and within the Windows tab an item where I could change the Primary Monitor from Fixed Monitor to Active Monitor ... no that didn't fix it .. to Monitor with Mouse Pointer, which resulted in the correct behaviour. BTW, Desktop Settings and LXSession configuration still open correctly after setting the Openbox windows preference. I'm going to file this bug even though I found a solution, because 1) I think the default behaviour is wrong, and 2) so that other people who run across it may find the bug and earn how to solve the issue. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages lxde depends on: ii galculator 2.1.3-1 ii gpicview 0.2.4-2+b2 ii leafpad 0.8.18.1-4 ii lxappearance 0.6.1-1 ii lxappearance-obconf 0.2.2-1 ii lxde-core 6 ii lxde-icon-theme 0.5.1-1 ii lxinput 0.3.4-1 ii lxrandr 0.3.0-1 ii lxsession [lxsession-edit] 0.5.1-2 ii lxterminal 0.2.0-1 ii xarchiver 1:0.5.4-1 Versions of packages lxde recommends: ii alsamixergui 0.9.0rc2-1-9.1 ii clipit 1.4.2-1 ii deluge 1.3.10-3 ii evince-gtk [pdf-viewer] 3.14.1-2 ii gnome-disk-utility 3.12.1-1+b1 ii gnome-mplayer 1.0.9-3 ii gnome-system-tools 3.0.0-4 ii gucharmap 1:3.14.1-1 ii iceweasel [www-browser] 31.6.0esr-1 ii lightdm [x-display-manager] 1.10.3-3 ii lxmusic 0.4.6-2 ii lxsession [lxpolkit] 0.5.1-2 ii menu-xdg 0.5 ii network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2 ii usermode 1.109-1 ii w3m [www-browser] 0.5.3-19 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7 Versions of packages lxde suggests: ii gimp 2.8.14-1+b1 ii libreoffice 1:4.3.3-2 ii lxlauncher 0.2.4-1 ii lxtask 0.1.6-1 pn pidgin <none> pn update-notifier <none> pn xfce4-power-manager <none> -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
