GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 151451
Docking in Win32 doesn't like multiple monitors
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
When I attempt to dock a window on a system that has multiple monitors, the window will always dock to the main window.
GTK+ doesn't really have a dock widget, so you need to be very specific about what control in what application.
Sorry, I specifically am using the Win32 port of Gaim. The buddy list will not dock on the second monitor. When the bug was reported to the gaim development team, they indicated that it was a problem with GTK+, and that the bug should be reported here. See for example: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=235&atid=100235&func=detail&aid=1000787 In following that thread, it looks like this may have been fixed. ( http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148526 ) Sorry if this is a duplicate. Steve
I'm going to duplicate this on the other bug. If that fix doesn't fix it, please get the gaim developers to provide a small standalone test program that duplicates what their application is doing and reopen this bug. [ The GTK+ team policy is not to hunt down applications to debug problems; if application developers are running into a GTK+ problem, they need to a) reproduce the bug with one of the test programs distributed with GTK+, b) debug the GTK+ problem themself or c) provide a test case. ] *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 148526 ***
