Hmm, well apparently not in version 3.4.3!
I do use it everyday. :)
Well I think I've narrowed down some of these problems, and I'm willing to bet
you don't have title bars enabled on windows because that seems to cause some
of these bugs.
if I load a program from a terminal in screen #1 with the
mouse on screen #1 it always appears on screen #0, stuffing the
layout around
This problem seems to be because instead of the window appearing at (0,0) on
the second screen, it appears at (-2,0) including the one pixel border, which
is still technically on the first screen (Xinerama mode here.) If I use a
free floating layout then the window appears on the second screen, but it's
listed in the taskbar on the first screen because of the two-pixel
misalignment. Any hotkeys like Mod4+F make the window jump back to the other
monitor because it's still technically on that screen.
I would suggest that instead of using the window's origin (0,0) to figure out
which screen it's on, do like other window managers and take the window's
midpoint. This would mean if the window is "mostly" on the second screen then
actions like maximising would go to the expected screen.
although MPlayer windows are
supposed to be full screen you can still see the taskbar/tags/clock
at the top of the movie
This is because of a bug in the full-screen or titlebar code. When a window
with a title bar is made full screen, the title bar disappears (good) but
space is still left for the invisible title bar at the top of the screen.
This means you can see through to the task bar because the full screen window
isn't quite tall enough to cover the whole screen.
I'm not giving up yet, hoping that I can come up with workarounds
for these issues, but I'm afraid the 'awesomeness' is quickly fading
;-)
Looks like I just have to use the same options as the devs to avoid issues :-)
Cheers,
Adam.
