GtkUnique should support multi-head environment; I say should because
I cannot test it - so if any has one should download the library and
launch one of the tests and see if it works.

 That is the case of Firefox nowadays.  It complains there is another
 instance running.  So, you can't follow links in the another one.

Yelp doesn't have to just complain: it can open a new window and move it
to the right screen/workspace.  That's the point of having a single
instance.

Try with Xnest :)

Exactly. That, and Firefox is broken. Try using a browser for which the
developers actually use Linux, like Epiphany...

Last time I tried, Epiphany didn't work when I was logged twice on my
machine, once local and once remote.
I think GtkUnique should handle this problem (i.e. what's
uniqueness ?).

 I'm not sure if yelp is a good candidate for GtkUnique.

Yelp is, and always has been, single-instance.  Originally, it used
bonobo activation.  Recently, it changed to using dbus (as it provided
several advantages like private instances).

 
 It's quite annoying when you work in a dual-head station and only able

Have you tried using yelp like this?  That was one of my pet peeves with
bonobo activation under yelp.  Currently (with dbus), I can run 'yelp
-p' on the second monitor and it'll show up properly.  GtkUnique should
(hopefully) solve even this :)

Thanks
Don

We should probably write somewhere a guide to multihead environment
testing. I've had this issue in the past too, and I guess I'm not the
only one.

Multi-headed gecko apps [was: Re: Proposing GtkUnique 1.0 as a blessed external dependency]

2006-11-15 Thread Christian Persch
Hi,

I'd just like to point out that gecko is _not_ multi-head safe. So any
single-instance application that uses gecko will need one instance _per
screen_. And if it uses a (gecko) profile, it'll be basically impossible
to use it on more than one screen at a time since you cannot share the
profile among several running geckos. (There was some work done to allow
this, but afaik it's incomplete and not enabled in standard builds.)

Regards,
Christian

Seems to work fine here for multi-head, though I haven't tested xinerama.

 Nice to see this happening. What can I provide to properly enable
 building Banshee under jhbuild?

I've just to define the list of dependencies for banshee, so
configure.ac is my friend :-)

I'll ping you for any further question, thanks.
