Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
I use a laptop and have a separate display I use in TwinView mode when at work. The separate display is marked as the main display so that the GNOME panel displays on it instead of on my laptop. The problem arises when I have started an app when in TwinView mode and have placed a window by that app on the external display. The app persists this location. Now, when I start my laptop without having the external screen attached, then start the app, the window appears "off screen". Unless I know to look for it off screen by selecting the alternate virtual display, it seems as if the app is broken. This is especially a problem when only a dialogue appears on the non-visible space. I realize this is probably an application problem, not an X problem. Just thought I'd report it as this behaviour will be the genesis of many bug reports to many app maintainers.
