Description Elijah Newren 2005-12-22 06:12:17 UTC
This will be a tracker for multi-head bugs that make use of separate screens.  Here's all the bugs I was able to find to start it off with:

 91797  Store per-screen number of workspaces setting
101659  need a keyboard shortcut to change the currently focused screen
319348  after clicking on the panel on the second screen the run
        application dialog still opens on the first screen
319423  workspace switcher breaks on second head

There was also this pie-in-sky request but it's probably not worth tracking here:
133337  support moving windows from one screen to another in
        non-xinerama multihead
Comment 1 Chris Hubick 2006-03-23 21:34:57 UTC
It would be really nice if this were blocking a similar meta bug covering all of Gnome.
Comment 2 Hylke van der Schaaf 2006-03-24 08:44:16 UTC
Here are some more:
115704 Multi-screen support for notification area is broken
321159 Cannot create a second desktop launcher on second head
325751 Nautilus crashes when dragging icons to another screen
Comment 3 Elijah Newren 2006-03-24 14:48:50 UTC
Hylke: No, this bug is for metacity.  If you'd like to create a meta bug covering all of Gnome as Chris suggests, then these could go there (or in sub bugs linked to from that bug, just like this one would be).
Comment 4 André Klapper 2020-11-06 20:06:36 UTC
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
