Okay, so it seems that I resolved the XRandR issues by restarting fluxbox (see the thread I previously posted). So now I can reproduce the problem:
Given two 1024x768 screens next to each other, which is a logical
screen of 2048x768 pixels, the splash screen displays in the middle
of that logical screen and thus "in between" the two monitors:
xwininfo: Window id: 0x1c0000b "win0"
Absolute upper-left X: 784
Absolute upper-left Y: 204
Relative upper-left X: 784
Relative upper-left Y: 204
Width: 480
Height: 360
Depth: 24
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOutput
Colormap: 0x20 (installed)
Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: yes
Corners: +784+204 -784+204 -784-204 +784-204
-geometry 480x360+784+204
jabref itself then restores the previous geometry, which is should
not.
So there are two things to do:
1. remove the functionality which stores and restores jabref's
main window's geometry on shutdown/startup
2. tell the window manager to place the splash screen in the
middle of the current head, rather than trying to figure out
dimensions yourself.
Cheers,
