Indeed, eclair remembers the position of its windows at the shutdown. So
the windows will appears out of the screen if you change the
resolution, or if you switch off xinerama.
So, what can I do to avoid this problem? Just check if the windows can
fit in the screen, and if they can't, move them to (0,0)? Isn't it
rather the work of the wm?

However, when I switch xinerama off and open an application which was
opened on the secondary screen, it doesn't show up on screen. It does
show up on the 'lost windows' menu and when I click on it, it displays
correctly on screen.
hmm - does the app remember its own window locations? which app is this? i
suspect the app may be remembering its own geometry and thus it places itself
offscreen. in this case tell e to remember position and set up locks to lock out
application ability to change its location and remember locks. not much to be
done about such stupid apps (thus the lost windows menu for just these apps) :)
I'll do some tests later on and see if it's really a problem of
specific applications.
You're right this problem shows only for some applications such as
firefox, qgis, eclair.
There are actually two annoying problems. The first is that since they
remember their geometry, when I try to open them on one screen, they
may open on another. The second problem is the one with being lost
(when not using dual screens).
Can't E just relocate the lost window instead of putting it in the
lost window list?
Thanks,
Ehud.
