Aside of the xrandr problem, I also (trying to) use clip in fixed position. From my perspective, it would be awesome to have clip integrated in dock element. For now I'm using it as depicted on the screenshot: http://tinyurl.com/bda68dm, which give me excellent mouse reach point: if I blindly move my cursor to the upper right corner I can quickly and easily switch to the next workspace. Because I have checked option to wrap workspaces, I can cycle through all workspaces with a mouse, so it gives me virtually the same behavior as in Amiga Workbench. Frankly, this is the only reason for me for using clip at all. -- Roman Dobosz <[email protected]> -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
