[Bug 505933] Re: look and feel broken with two monitors attached

 

I just tried on an intel iMac with two monitors and had this same
problem. Instead of the puredyne logo I see the XFCE logo (on BOTH
monitors). When I go into the settings I see that the pd logo is still
the selected one, but somehow not used - if I select something else then
select puredyne then it does go onto the desktops. (But then I ran
grandr, fiddled about, quit, and I was back at the XFCE logos!)

Bug description:
14:25 < claude> with second monitor attached on boot, it looks weird...
14:25 < claude> ie: puredyne splash, but standard xfce backdrop
14:26 < claude> and bottom 1/4 of the screen on external monitor looks different
14:26 < claude> ...and it's cropped off the bottom ofthe laptop screen...
14:35 < rob> claude: yes we need a second profile for display 2
14:35 < rob> always annoying when giving a presentation and you loose look and feel on projector
14:37 < claude> rob: it's worse than that here - the different aspect ratio means the panel is not visible on the laptop screen...

workaround for now: look at external monitor to find the terminal icon to click, then run grandr to sort out the monitors...
