Hi,

I understand your problem, but no why it happends. Is very interesting.

In the code for menu, wmaker creates a WRect, and check the position. If
is outside, move it inside.

In the code for icons, wmaker creates a WArea, and check the position.
If is outside, move it inside.

If is wrong for icons, should be wrong for menu (or the functions are
different and one is wrong).

Ok, some questions.

1. Are you using Xinerama or Virtual desktop (I think yes).
2. Did you try with xrand?

Can you try xrand, si something like (copy as script, or run it):

----------------8<----------------
#!/bin/bash
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1280x800
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1200
xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1
----------------8<----------------

I am running xrandr here without problems. You need restart windowmaker
to move the icons to the right position. Then:

3. Is ok with xrandr?

Then, we will continue :-)

Cheers.
