GNUstep Menu on multiple Monitors under Linux

[James Jordan]

I remember having this problem with multiple monitors of differing resolutions, 
I believe it is an X-Windows problem that can be adjusted.  The problem is 
basically that X-Windows creates a rectangle as high as the highest vertical 
resolution and as wide as all of the horizontal resolutions added together.  In 
your case I believe you have something like this:

                            _____________________________________
                            |                                   |               
                     |
______________|                                   |                             
       |
|                           |                                   |               
                     |
|                           |                                   |               
                     |
|                           |                                   |               
                     |

(Can probably only see that if you are using plain text)

Basically the problem is that the left-most screen does not start at 0,0 but 
something like 0,150 (X-Win defaults to that so that the "normal" task/launch 
bar across the bottom of the screens does not get cut off).  Most current Linux 
distributions handle X-Win configurations on the fly (so no config file to 
edit) but you should be able to use xrandr to adjust.  There are Gui 
implementations of xrandr for some of the desktops.  I use a short xrandr 
script to adjust my laptop display when I hook it up to an external monitor 
(but I have to restart WindowMaker because it cannot handle it).
