Support multi-monitor setups

[grahamperrin]

First run of Falkon after booting, with dual displays, I could not move the window from the primary display (on the right) to the required display (on the left).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Boot
2. click the dock icon for the browser

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

3. the window should be draggable, movable.

… maybe a problem with the global menu bar

Probably true. The bar also obscures part of the Startvolume icon.

Are the two screens the same in pixel resolution or is the right-hand screen fewer pixels in height than the left-hand screen?

[grahamperrin]

Fewer.

So, on the screenshot about everyhting is not as it should be:

• There should be two instances of the wallpaper instead of one Filer#97
• There should be black/grey areas where there is no screen (right-hand side, since that display is smaller - somewhat similar to the picture)

• Menubar and Dock should only be on the main/primary screen (which can be set in Applications -> Prefereces -> Screen Settings)
• The icons on the desktop should only be on the main/primary screen and their position should be calculated only using that screen's geometry
• The display manager should not place windows behind the Menu or in the black/grey areas

As a conclusion, we can only say that multi-monitor setups are currently not supported unless the points are fixed.

@grahamperrin Can you set one of your screens as the Primary screen in Applications -> Prefereces -> Screen Settings, log out, log in again, and see if it changes anything? Then repeat with the other screen being set as Primary.

Thanks!

[grahamperrin]

Maybe in a few days. Thanks.

Also, a few (three?) icons missing from, or present but invisible within, the global menu bar. Volume etc..
