In Gutsy/Hardy: System menu - Administration - Screens and Graphics - Screen 2 - Secondary Screen - Extend the Default Screen to the [right/left/wherever you prefer]. Then just grab the window you want (eg. MythTV) and drag it off your first monitor and onto your second monitor. For example, if you selected "extend the default screen to the RIGHT" then you just drag the window to the right border and it jumps over to the other monitor. Then put the program into fullscreen mode. And that's it. "It just works", most of the time. I do this on my laptop quite frequently. The only confusion is if you are running Compiz (Advanced Desktop Effects) - you may need to turn off "Edge Flip Move" under "Rotate Cube" to prevent it from simply rotating/switching virtual desktops when you drag a window to the screen edge. -- Andrew Oakley -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
