Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties
Tags: sid
I use gnome-display-properties to extend my desktop to a second monitor to the
right and halfway above my primary screen. When I do this, my desktop icons
also shift upwards by the same amount the 2nd screen is above the first, even
though the 2nd screen is not the primary screen. I cannot see the icons then,
because they are "above" my monitor.

Don't put the icons in the non-visible areas? In any case I don't think
there's anything X can do about where applications decide to draw stuff.
The monitor geometry is available through xinerama and randr already, so
closing this.
