Not really a solution, but you can move them by alt-tabbing to the hidden app, then hitting ctrl-space (activate window menu) and then m (move) then use the mouse or arrow keys to move the app around. Other way is to use alt-middle click (I think that's it) and then fish for the app on the other screen and grab it and move it to your primary monitor. -- Alan <alan@xxxxxxxxx> - http://arcterex.net -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Backups are for people who don't pray." -- big Mike _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
