Let's try then: PA only ever looks on the first screen of a display. Shoudln't be too hard to fix that though, but I am not even convinced that this is really a good idea. At least not, unless there is a fallback to look on the first screen. Nonetheless, sane patches welcome, as usual. I wasn't aware that anyone actually uses multiple screens on a single display -- and quite frankly I don't get why you do that. So personally I am not too concernced with fixing this. So if you want to see this fixed, then please provide a patch! Lennart -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4
