I've been working with 11.04 Unity and a dual monitor setup and I think that the current solution is OK except for one problem.
The Unity bar in the second monitor has , apart from the appindicators, also the clock and the menu to log out, etc. I think that the log out menu should be only in the primary monitor, but this is not important. What's more important is that the system notifications come now always on the second monitor which I have on the right of the main one. This is not very convenient because no matter where I'm working I have to got to the far rightest place of my setup to see the notifications. Usually, at least for me, I use the second monitor to have processes that I want to have running but which I do not have to look for a long time. For instance if I'm wordprocessing or working with a spreadsheet I use the main monitor, and in the second monitor I have a statistical program running some analysis, or my email client open. I think that the notifications should be always in the main monitor. I think also that it is not elegant to have all the bar icons duplicated across monitors, like the sound indicator, the network indicator, the close/open menu, the time and the menu for on-line accounts (show availabiility, etc). Maybe the only one that whould be duplicated would be the time/date indicator, since this one is useful to have handy, all the other should be only in the Unity bar of the main monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/683084 Title: Global menu doesn't work well with more than one screen -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
