Package: icewm
Version: 1.2.37+1.3.4pre2-3
Severity: normal

This is a regression for two-screen setups. (Laptop with LCD and a VGA monitor)
Earlier icewm put the taskbar in one of the screens, and contained it there.
If it got full of running programs, they simply got less space each.

Now the taskbar grows out through the right side of the first screen. I guess
it tries to extend into the next screen, but that one is smaller and
don't extend that far down. So, half of my taskbar is invisible, and 
pretty useless. The clock is to the right and cannot be seen at all.

Suggestions for a fix:

* Reverting to earlier behaviour is probably easiest. Let the taskbar
  stay in one window only - but make an intelligent choice. (It usually
  appeared in the smallest screen - not ideal.)

* The better solution is to split the taskbar into several windows,
  one window along the bottom of each screen. Or use xrandr to
  align the outputs along the bottom instead of the top - if that
  is possible at all.
