Description Richard Hughes 2011-02-03 13:44:45 UTC 
I have two monitors. An internal panel and a external DVI display. The internal panel is a normal widescreen notebook screen. The external DVI display is setup as portrait, i.e. "left" in the Display panel and is physically positioned to the left of my laptop.

If you do this, you can't drag the external monitor to the left side of the internal panel on the monitor setup screen. It looks like the constraint code is dealing with the display as landscape, and the rendering code with the display as portrait.

To reproduce:

1. setup a second monitor
2. switch the second monitor to "Left" in the GUI so it's portrait
3. try to drag the second monitor to the left side of the internal panel on the drawing canvas.
4. its.... sticking.... in... the... wrong... place... :-)

This is a regression from 2.32. Thanks.

I find it confusing that there is at least 20 calls to gnome_rr_output_info_get_geometry() in xrandr-capplet.c, but only a single call to get_geometry(), which applies the orientation...

This should fix it, reopen if not.

    Fix dragging rotated monitors
    
    Need to take rotation into account when handling the snapping.
