Every goddamn time I boot up my dual-monitor system, gedit is on the right hand monitor; every goddamn time, I drag it manually across to the left hand monitor. This is a desktop with dual displays, I don't unplug and replug them, yet the session management stuff seems to consistently fail to remember which head gedit is supposed to be on. Seems to remember other apps okay, though. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
