Description Stéphane Rosi 2006-02-19 02:24:44 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I have a dualhead setup with Xinerama support. The two monitors are placed
according to the next drawing, in a big virtual screen :

 ---------------------
|          | Virtual  | (Virtual is never visible)
| Screen 1 |----------|
|          |          |
|          |          |
|----------| Screen 2 |
| Virtual  |          |
 ---------------------

Normally the icons appear like that:

 ---------------------
|GnomePanel|          |
|Icon1     |----------|
|Icon2     |          |
|Icon3     |          |
|----------|          |
|          |          |
 ---------------------

But if I had a panel at the top of the right screen, the icons are still placed
on the left screen but at the same height of the panel of the right screen:

 ---------------------
|GnomePanel|          |
|          |----------|
|          |GnomePanel|
|Icon1     |          |
|Icon2-----|          |
|Icon3     |          |
 ---------------------

I even have icons in the virtual screen area, which is not really convenient as
they are not visible...

Does this happen every time?

Confirmed on nautilus 2.14.3. I have a setup like this:

 128  ----------
------|        |
|1024 |  1280  |
|  X  |   X    |
| 768 |  1024  |
------|        |
 128  ----------

Now on the left screen the icons will arange themselves like this:

      ----------
------|        |
|1 6  |        |
|2 7  |        |
|3 8  |        |
-4-9--|        |
 5    ----------

(Here the icons are acted out by the numbers 1-9)

Really annoying bug as to see some of the stuff on my desktop I have to navigate to "~/Desktop/".
