BTW, one funny thing I've noticed with this behaviour is that the top-left hand corner of the secondary monitor is still 'sticky' - it grabs my cursor - even though it doesn't trigger the overview any more with this new behaviour, obviously... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

I use an extra monitor with my laptop all the time and that is such so much more usable!

Personally I find the new behavior *significantly* more usable because my 4:3 primary head is half the size of my 16:9 external head, so the "workspace" was irregularly shaped, and *very* wide, crammed down onto the smaller primary screen, it wasted a *lot* of space. The new way utilizes each screen much better than before. -- http://exolucere.ca ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

Only the primary head gets workspaces, the secondary head just has the same stuff on it all the time. You do get an 'overview' for the secondary head, if you put more than one window on it you'll see this more clearly. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

BTW, I always hated that changing desktops on one screen, automatically changed them on the other. On KDE4 at work I have to pin windows visible on all desktops on my external monitor for it to be of any use (it comes natural to me that changing desktops on one screen should not by any means change them automatically on the other). Maybe positioning your cursor on the secondary and then changing them works? That's how E17 does it at least.

New Multi Monitor Behavior is Odd
Hello, Congratulations on the release of GNOME 3. GNOME Shell behaves odd on my multi monitor setup. When I switch workspaces the screen on the external monitor remains the same. I expect the external monitor to share the same virtual workspace as the primary monitor. Is this behavior intentional? Or is this a bug? Or did I screw up my xrandr settings? I use my external monitor primarily as a reading device. It has a large screen and thankfully there's no top bar taking up screen space or distracting. But I also like to have different apps (chrome, devhelp, pdf books) open on different workspaces on the external monitor. If this is not a bug, or a screw up on my path, is this behavior changeable? If so how can I revert back to the old behavior which is the standard behavior on other window managers?
