Severity: normal
Version: CVS 2002-05-13
Synopsis: Xinerama and metacity

Bugzilla-Component: general

Description:
Description of Problem:
I have an edge panel at the top of my second monitor. On the first head
(which has no panels) metacity will not move a window into the area
which would be occupied by the top panel if it spanned both monitors.

The panel is setting a hint which says not to put a window there. 
The bad part is that the WM spec doesn't yet have a hint that applies
to only one part of a Xinerama screen, so the panel can't really be
fixed. 
There's nothing we can do for either Metacity or the panel until the 
WM spec is updated with a solution.

Wipro, Sun- does this impact your multihead work? I don't know if it
is an issue for you or not, but it seems like you should have a heads
up...

Havoc: should bugs like this one be filed under EMWH spec and not general?
Comment 3 Havoc Pennington 2002-06-22 04:02:02 UTC 
I think it might be OK to put a hack in metacity where a strut only
applies to xinerama screens that a window overlaps.
