Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.35-1
Severity: normal
I use a laptop with an external monitor as the secondary monitor.
I use xrandr to set up the second monitor, they are side-by-side.
(I use xrandr from the command line, so this happens after icewm has
started.)
I can move the mouse all over both screens, but icewm doesn't let me
drag a window completely onto the second monitor. A little piece of the
window has to remain on the first monitor, similiar to how you can't
place a window completely off-screen when you have only one monitor.
It is probably just this safety mechanism that isn't aware of the extra
monitor appearing.
Icewm has no problem if it is started _after_ the second monitor is
activated.
Ideally, the x server should tell the window manager about such changes.
If that isn't feasible, polling for changes is an option.
On the road, I use the laptop with its built-in screen only.
At work, (and whenever I can), I plug in an extra monitor and use xrandr
to use it at its ideal resolution. I keep the machine on all the time,
so a static setup doesn't work that well.
