I've found using Metacity (vs Compiz) as my system's window decorator allows me better control of programs shown on any additional screens, whilst disabling most of my Composite/3D Acceleration. (Looking into the composite/3d issue further may result on a solution, I'm just not willing to bother)
After applying the patch, play around with different managers and see if you can get the desired results. Like I said, Metacity actually decorated windows I spawn on any display/screen which allows me to interact with said windows once they have been created. Additionally, I have since migrated away from Ubuntu to stock Debian. I am also looking into Ubuntu variants, such as Lubuntu and Xubuntu to see what dual-head support they may provide. Again, with all the respect in the word to the developers of this and every other program available to me today, I don't understand how Nautilus is the default file manager for Ubuntu with such problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885989 Title: white screen on second monitor when using two xsessions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/885989/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
