Description Mike Hudson 2003-08-18 19:16:26 UTC 
I have two displays. The left hand one (zero) has gnome panels on bottom
and right hand side. When I maximize a window it expands to fill the whole
screen. The bottom and right hand sides fall underneath the panels (which
makes it hard to use the window bottons in the top  right-hand corner).

On the other hand when I maximize a window on the right hand screen (which
has no panles), it does not fill the whole screen but has a gap on the
bottom and right hand side as if it thinks there are panels there.

For reference here is the relevant part of /etc/X11/XF86Config

I can't wait until Gnome 2.4 comes out so that we don't have to keep
seeing this bug reported.  But anyway, this is fixed in the latest
versions of metacity and gnome-panel. Try the super-fantastico Gnome
2.4 Beta release!
