I unfortunately haven't been able to test multi-screen with/without Hans's patches (a bit of trouble getting multi-screen to work ;), however here is my feeling about this. First, I don't think it makes sense to have different behaviour between fullscreen and windowed mode. *If* we do some magic reordering of windows when going fullscreen, then we should do the same when virt-viewer windows are moved around, or things get really inconsistent. Another thing to consider is that with real hardware, if you move your physical monitors around, then the way the screen are configured in your OS will no longer match the actual order, which is totally expected. Given that we are not in the physical world, we are able to detect that our monitors are being moved around, in which case it probably makes things nicer to make sure the monitor order matches what is seen by the OS. We already are being smarter than the real world by letting the user change the monitor physical size... (ie dynamic resolution). Just my 2 cents, with the disclaimer that I need to play a bit with that to get a better feel of it :) Christophe
