Description Vincent Tschanz 2008-12-27 23:54:07 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a windows
- move it on the second screen
- using right-clic on the deskbar, choose "move" to move the window
- move it back to the first screen
- the windows doesn't appear on the first screen and now your pointer is useless. You can move it but you can't click or move anything.

Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2009-01-06 13:52:57 UTC 
Are you using compiz (desktop effects) or metacity?
Comment 2 Vincent Tschanz 2009-01-06 14:09:09 UTC 
Compiz is disabled, (Compiz don't work with xinerama) 
Gnome integrated copositing effects are disabled too.


If I move the window using alt-click, everything is fine. 
What is different when using moving from the context-menu?
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2009-01-06 14:15:31 UTC 
Don't know what's different. Moving to metacity :-)
(I didn't check, but I don't think there were any relevant changes in libwnck, so likely a metacity change)
