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.
