Hi all,
I have my secondary display on the left of the primary one. When I start
Xwin in multiwindow mode but without the multimonitors option, there is
a shift between the Windows window and the XFree window. The root window
take the full primary display as expected. However, the (0,0) coordinate
in X matches the top left corner of the secondary display. Because of
that, the window appears on my secondary display instead of the primary.
The shift brings a weird behavior when the two display don't have the
same size. A Windows window fully inside one display would only get
partially refreshed because it is only partially inside the root window.
I also think that there is a problem with the mouse. When I show the
root window and move the mouse over it, the X cursor and the windows
cursor are on the same spot on the display, i.e. the (0,0) of the
_primary_ matches the (0,0) of X. When I stop moving the mouse, the X
cursor suddenly jump to the right, i.e. the (0,0) of the _secondary_
matches the (0,0) of X.
Last, why not put multimonitors on by default when in
multiwindow/rootless mode with an option to disable it? In those mode,
with the root window invisible, one would expect it to be the same than
the Windows desktop.
