OpenOffice splash screens shows in the middle of the two screens when on
dual head. The best approach would be show in the middle of the first
screen. It's propably not considering dual head. It's not stopping
anything from working so i'm reporting as enhacement.

Maybe there is no need for a splash screen once you guys make it load
faster :)

Hmm, on my dualhead system, the splash is centered on one of the
screens, not between -> I guess you should add some details ;-)

Since this is probably related to the window manager:
I'm using KDE, the OpenOffice_org-kde package is installed also.

Well, im using GNOME with metacity. Maybe it should be a metacity
problem then? Gnome doesn't handle dual head very well, the desktop
background image gets stretched at both screens instead of letting the
user choose two images or simply repeat the same image on both screens,
but that's another bug :)

I think that suits the info needed, if any other info is required please
just ask :)

Hmm, it looks like GNOME somewhat hides the information about that it is
a dual head and it takes the display like a large one. I wonder how it
is done in KDE.

Michael, do you know something about it?

Jan - your issue; I guess we need to do yet more raw-X magic to extract
screen information to get the positioning right, or just use gtk+ again.

"being solved" in comment #4 is too optimistic ;)

Lowering severity to enhancement, surely this is just a cosmetic issue.

Let's avoid using the word "screen" as it has a specific meaning in X
which is different from its common meaning (synonym for a physical
monitor). In dual-head setups where there indeed are two separate X
*screens*, the problem here can't exist, as far as I know. It's when two
*monitors* together form one X screen (either through a feature known as
"Xinerama", or some graphics card driver dependent feature) that this
happens. Correct me if I am wrong...

Anyway, what I wanted to say is that there is no need to use low level
Xlib calls to find out about multiple monitors on GNOME, there is GDK
API for that.

But we don't link against GDK in oosplash, it uses pure Xlib...

I wonder, if - in the end - it is not down to something like the patch
I'm going to attach; the hints that it is a splash otherwise seem to be
set up correctly, etc.

But again, cannot test here ATM :-(
