This change makes the multi-screen experience strictly worse in at least one scenario, as follows.
In my case, I have an external VGA screen that's smaller than my LVDS screen, and physically placed above it. After running "xrandr --output VGA --auto --above LVDS", my desktop extends upward to include the VGA screen, but gnome-panel remains at the top of the LVDS screen (since it's larger), in the middle of my logical desktop. This seems odd, since windows that span both screens are now interrupted by a gnome- panel. To make matters worse, when a new window is created and placed on the LVDS screen, the window is aligned to the top of the LVDS screen, as opposed to the bottom of the gnome-panel. As a result, the window's title bar is placed below the overlapping gnome-panel, making it difficult to move the window. -- gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
