Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

I am running a dual screens using Xinerama and the vga output from my
laptop. When I have the second screen set to the right of my laptop's
built in screen, as follows, maximised windows correctly respect the
boundaries of any panels I have on either screen:

Section "ServerLayout"
...
Screen          "Second Screen" RightOf "Default Screen"
...
EndSection

However, when I change this to:

Screen          "Second Screen" Above "Default Screen"

...any panels at the joining edge of each screen (the top edge of
'Default Screen' and the bottom edge of 'Second Screen') fail to be
respected by maximised / moved windows. maximised windows maximise to
fill the space behind the panel, and moved windows do not experience the
usual resistance effect when passing the panel boundary.

I have posted screenshots of the effect and my xorg.conf here:

Please email me if you need any more info, and accept my appologies if
this is filed against the wrong package. I suspect it's gnome, but I'm
really not sure what part deals with all that window behaviour.

Good luck
Matthew
