Description Matthias Clasen 2001-06-13 07:15:16 UTC 
Here is a patch to make gtk+ Xinerama-aware. Its against the gtk-multihead 
branch, since the GdkScreen introduced in that branch seems like a natural 
place to store the Xinerama information. 

The patch adds the necessary configury to detect and use libXinerama, the 
necessary GdkScreen API to request Xinerama info. It changes the behaviour 
of GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER to always center on the head containing the pointer 
(or the first head, if the pointer is in "dead" space), and it changes 
gtk_menu_position to ensure that menus are restricted to a single head.

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2001-06-23 15:42:09 UTC 
Put on future milestone, since multihead support is already
a bit iffy for 2.0.0, and I think we should wait until that
is merged before adding this change.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2001-12-03 08:21:02 UTC 
This has been committed to the multihead branch now.
