Re: Mozilla opens full-screen with Xinerama
Hi Bill,
Try xfwm as your window manager. It's configurable, light-weight and has
full xinerama support (unlike most other wm's I've tried).
Mozilla works properly on my xinerama setup under xfwm. (Actually the
nightlies aren't/weren't built with the xinerama option enabled. The only
visible glitch with a stock build seems to be that menus will happily span
across monitor breaks. This is only a real PITA if you have different
sized monitors as the menu can disappear off the bottom of the second
screen. Add the line "ac_add_options --enable-xinerama" to your .mozconfig
if you want to roll your own.)
