GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 171751
Multi-head focus problems
Last modified: 2005-10-01 21:11:18 UTC
Distribution: Fedora Core release 3 (Heidelberg) Package: metacity Severity: normal Version: GNOME2.10.0 2.8.x Gnome-Distributor: GARNOME Synopsis: Multi-head focus problems Bugzilla-Product: metacity Bugzilla-Component: general Bugzilla-Version: 2.8.x Description: Description of Problem: I have a multi-head configuration (non-Xinerama). CTRL-ALT-{LEFT|RIGHT} is bound to move to workspace left/right. On the primary head this key combination works fine. On the secondary head this combination only works if there is already a window on the desktop. Using CTRL-ALT-RIGHT to move into a desktop that has no windows results in the matacity desktop list (the one in the center of the screen) staying visible until something is clicked. Metacity is built from GARNOME 2.10.0.1 Xorg from Fedora Core 3 How often does this happen? Since about GNOME 2.6 or so (I know, I should have reported it long ago). ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2005-03-26 18:19 ------- Unknown platform unknown. Setting to default platform "Other". Unknown milestone "unknown" in product "metacity". Setting to default milestone for this product, '---' Setting to default status "UNCONFIRMED". Setting qa contact to the default for this product. This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
I can reproduce this on FC3 (dual head w/o xinerama). Also sometimes (I cannot tell exactly when) the cursor is warped from the second head to the (0,0) coordinates (upper left corner) of the first head, and subsequent Ctrl+arrow key combos switch desktops on the first head. Possibly off-topic feature requests/questions: - can GNOME/metacity support separate wallpapers for each head? My screens do not have the same size or even aspect ratio. - is there any hot-key binding for Metacity for "move cursor to the other screen"?
Hmm, bug #171347 looks similar to this.
I would also love a keyboard shortcut for switching focus between screens. Metacity's dual-head support is somewhat lacking.

This is not a duplicate of 133337. It is, however, a duplicate of bug 116041. Jan: The wallpapers are determined by nautilus, not metacity. The hot-key for moving the cursor to the other screen is filed as bug 101659.

Elijah, thanks for pointing bug 116041, I intended to mark this bug has a duplicate of bug 171347, but as you pointed out bug 171347 and this bug are duplicate of bug 116041.
Loic: No need to reopen this bug to tell me that. ;-) Re-marking as a duplicate... *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 116041 ***
