Ardesia doesn't work on dual screen configs #74

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

My laptop automatically switches between one and two screens depending on 
whether there is an external monitor attached or not.

1. External monitor attached: external view goes completely lightgrey. Toolbar 
appears on external view. I can draw on the internal display, but when I start, 
de toolbar disappears, so I cannot change back to pointer-mode. Switching to 
console terminal (ctrl-alt-F1) and back again kills ardesia.

2. No external monitor attached: toolbar appears on internal screen, but I 
cannot draw anything. When I close ardesia, the drawings suddenly appears for a 
few tens of seconds.

I have two exactly the same installations: Kubuntu 14.04 up-to-date on a PC 
with one display and on this laptop. On the PC ardesia works perfectly (great 
tool btw).

When I start ardesia on my laptop through cli with the -V option, I get this:

guido@lap630:~$ ardesia -V

Notice the "enabled device in screen 2"

So what's the solution for this? tia
