[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set the TwinView on the nVidia
2. set the panel_monitor = all
3. set the taskbar_mode = multi_desktop
4. run one instance tint2

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- taskbar correctly shows the tasks only for appropriate monitor, but:
- systray is only on the left monitor, regardless primary monitor settings 
or connections of the monitors (VGA/DVI).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. set the TwinView on the nVidia
2. set the two separate config files with panel_monitor = X & taskbar_mode 
= single_monitor & un/comment systray_padding
3. run two instances tint2 -c ...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

- systray is on appropriate monitor, regard used config file, but:
- taskbar incorrectly shows all tasks from both monitors

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tint2-7.1, fluxbox, debian testing amd64

Please provide any additional information below.
according to the Issue 47 (http://code.google.com/p/tint2/issues/detail?
id=47) is the problem with the xrand usage, because the xrandr says only 
one big monitor:

$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 3200 x 1080, current 3200 x 1080, maximum 3200 x 1080
default connected 3200x1080+0+0 0mm x 0mm

humm, not sure what to do here.

On one hand, Xorg have an 'official' way to manage multi-monitor (xrandr),
on the other hand, nvidia have a proprietary way (twinview).

before doing anything on this subject, I need more info on the future of 
twinview
and the way they manage multi-monitor...

thank you for reply,

i am not a programmer, but i have simple ideas: 

1, add simple option systray_mode: auto|1|2|etc, or 
2, make possible disable the taskbar (in like manner disable systray), to make 
possible run tint2 only for systray too

I am using stalonetray for now...

regards

merged this report with "configurable order of panel item"
because it will allow to enable/disable the taskbar.
