Package: xfce4-mcs-manager
Version: 4.3.99.2-1
Severity: normal
I have a system with 4 monitors, driven by an nvidia NVS440 card.
What I am trying to achieve is to have a panel on each monitor,
possibly with a different set of applets added to the panel on
each monitor. In the process I noticed what seems to be a bug.
When I am configuring the panel with xfce-mcs-manager I see the
following behaviour:
I open the "panel" dialog box.
The initial state is
* panel 1 at top left, full width, monitor 1.
* panel 2 at bottom centre, normal width, monitor 1.
(ie the the debian defaults)
I select panel 1 for customisation.
I click on 'monitor 2' and the panel (plus the dialog) appear on that
monitor. Panel 2 does not move.
I click on 'monitor 1' and the panel goes back to monitor 1.
So far so good.
Now I select panel 2 for customisation.
I click on 'monitor 2' and the panel dialog jumps to monitor 2,
but then, the application appears to exit.
Both panels disappear from the screen.
Clicking on the panel icon in the mcs-manager window does not pop
up a new panel dialog.
Exiting and restarting X does not fix the issue; mcs-manager will not
open a new panel dialog when I click on that icon.
The only way I've found to undo this is to delete the ~/.config and
~/.cache directories.
Notes:
x-session-manager is set to xfce4-session.
x-window-manager is set to xfwm4.
We start the X session with /usr/bin/startx
We start with no ~/.config or ~/.cache directories.
I can provide copies of the files in those directories with the system
in the failed state, if you wish.
The xorg.conf was set up with nvidia-xconfig and does not use
xinerama, see below.
Cheers
