[Bug 868354] Re: Duplicate indicators bar and desktops with overlapped screens

 

Allowing two displays to overlap and show different sized viewports of
the same desktop is totally permissible by X11 with RANDR.  I can't
think of any particular use case where you'd *want* it set up that way,
but technically it is a permissible configuration as far as X is
concerned.  It is more of a question of policy.

While I think I can reproduce it under some circumstances with xrandr,
I'm not sure that means we should implement the policy at the X level,
or if it just means we have two config tools that need the same fix.
