In the past it referenced the current Xinerama screen, not the whole root window. When a menu is placed the code needs a reference rectangle to calculate the menu position. It can be relative to the pointer, to a window, to the root window, to a monitor etc. > but if this option is meant to do what I think > it is, then this would be taking the width/height of the monitor the > pointer/window is on, rather than referencing the width/height of the entire > root window. That would be correct. Renamed it to "monitor" and "fMonitorContext". There's only one place in the code that evaluates the flag, and that looks fishy. Can you test it? Menu foomenu monitor c c Should place the menu in the middle of the current monitor. The code is on the dv/devel branch (you may not want the top commit on that branch).
