[Bug 192009] Re: gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear
In my case, I use a laptop also with external VGA. I just installed Karmic over Intrepid. With Karmic the laptop comes up as primary but I want the Ext. VGA as primary when it is plugged in. I've had to add a script to switch both off and reset the External as Primary after each restart (of which I have lot because of lots of various issues with karmic). The reset script only works about one third of the time, (causing blank screen the other two thirds). With Intrepid the External was Primary when plugged in, (as I would expect most people using an external would require). Configure Display has no option for setting this though what I would wish to revert to is a way to say "Use External Display As Primary When Present". -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hmm this change made all my panels swap monitors in my dual head setup.

After this change they swapped places - so I had the two on the internal and one on the external. I've moved them back; as long as they stay put I'm not going to be too fussed about it - but I'm not sure changing behaviour where people have positioned panels is a good idea.

A second panel would have used to have gone in the middle of the two screens. Yes, your case would be worse with this patch. This patch is a trade-off though, so there will be some.

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 patch breaks gnome-panel on NX: The program 'gnome-panel' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'. (Details: serial 112 error_code 1 request_code 150 minor_code 8) (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

[Bug 192009] Re: gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear
As said on my first comment, someone having a second monitor and interest on this feature should send it upstream, otherwise there's no point on leaving the bug here open, for instructions on how to do forward the bug upstream see my first comment too, thanks. ** Also affects: gnome-panel Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 192009] Re: gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear
This bug is still present. If you have multiple monitors, there is no way to specify which one should be the primary, i.e. the one with the taskbar. ** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 192009] Re: gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear
I'm fairly certain that I've been bitten by this as well. I have a dual head radeon card. When enabling the secondary display, both the upper and lower panels switch from my primary monitor to the secondary monitor. I am running an up-to-date Hardy i386 development release as of 22 March 2008. libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 gnome-panel 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu2 metacity1:2.22.0-0ubuntu1 xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.8.0-1 -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
