GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 648465
Gnome-shell workspaces ignore windows on second monitor
Last modified: 2011-04-22 13:36:53 UTC
I'm running a fresh install of the Fedora 15 beta with Gnome 3. Booting up for the first time, Gnome correctly found and enabled my second monitor, although it guessed incorrectly about layout. Using the system settings Display applet, I was able to configure the second monitor to be to the left of the primary monitor and rotated anti-clockwise, and the changes worked just fine. That alone has me extremely impressed compared to the xorg.conf crap I had to go through with previous distros. However, regardless of what my display configuration is, Gnome Shell's workspaces only ever change the content of the primary monitor. Any windows I have on the second monitor are ignored by the workspace switcher. Gnome shell itself knows about them and arranges them nicely when the shell is activated, but the workspace switcher ignores them. Is this intended behavior?
