Title:
  Window/toolbar overlap in vertically stacked monitor configuration

Status in “gnome-panel” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  Binary package hint may be wrong, possible other candidates metacity,
  nvidia-current.

  When using a vertically stacked monitor layout (1280x1024 on top of
  1280x800), with the primary monitor set to the upper screen.

  The GNOME upper and lower toolbars (fixed size, not set to auto-hide)
  are displayed on the primary (upper) screen. Windows in this screen
  when maximised set their upper bound as the bottom of the upper
  toolbar, but set their lower bound as the bottom of the top screen
  (underneath the bottom toolbar).

  Expected behaviour: either the bottom toolbar should appear on the
  second (lower) screen, or windows maximised on the upper screen should
  maximise only in between the two toolbars.

  Actual behaviour: windows maximise to include the space under the
  bottom toolbar, meaning that the active line of a terminal is hidden
  unless the terminal is explicitly resized.

  Other information:
  ubuntu: 10.10
  w/m: metacity 1:2.30.2-0ubuntu1
  gnome-panel: 1:2.30.2-1ubuntu3

  The multiple screens are being run using the nvidia binary driver,
  version 260.19.06-0ubuntu1. This may be significant given the way it
  handles X screens when multiple monitors are connected.
