Hi,
Few days ago I realized that there are more screen resolutions than 1024x768, so I decided to try some others out. Namely I tried 1280x1024 and 1152x864. The problem is that after resolution change I cannot use all of my desktop space. Namely I cannot to move icons out of 1024x768 space. Nautilus is responsible for desktop drawing, and desktop is my home dir. Everything else is normal, windows occupy all space, Xfree86.0.log says that virtual desktop size is the same as resolution. So I concluded that this is some gnome component problem. I tried to search the net, but did not found anything related. Has anyone experienced such problems? If someone did, what needs to be changed? Maybe there is some hidden gconf key which says use this resolution and no other? If it is a bug, against what package I should file it? Is this the right list for asking about this problem?
I filed a bug, it's a bug #204836. There is a simple solution to this problem though. Just change to metacity then to sawfish and then save session when logging out (maybe just saving session is enough) and voila. Everything works perfectly.
I decided to try out metacity for now:) Is there a way to configure it so new windows are placed in center instead of top left corner? I remember there was a discussion about that earlier but as far as I remember the solution was changing to sawfish. Has anything changed?
