Hiya Compiz list! I am a Linux UI dude for VMware as my day job and am working on improving things in Workstation and Player with regards to multiple monitors on Linux. Some of my colleagues worked with the xdg/wm-spec folks just earlier this year to get the _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS hint into the EWMH spec to address the needs applications have in needing to be both fullscreen and spanning multiple monitors at the same time. Previously, we had some hacks to get Window Managers to do this, but it was fragile and brittle to say the least. Anyway, _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS is the right solution and is very useful for client virtualization software such as VMware, and for any other apps that wish to go fullscreen and span more than one monitor (i.e. video players, etc.).<br>
<br>Long story short, last Friday, I had just pulled out a git clone of compiz and was getting ready to start looking at patching _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS into Compiz and I discovered that Danny Baumann had done just that literally the day before. WOOT! Thank you Danny!!!<br>
<br>I spent some time Friday in using the simple test application that David Trowbridge wrote (<a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=122703">http://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=122703</a>) that exercises _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS as well as using the multiple monitor feature of Workstation and things look really good! So I just wanted to introduce myself, say THANK YOU to Danny for adding the new hint, and see if there's anything I can do to help with this hint. Also, I'm not quite familiar with the Compiz release schedule yet... does anyone know what released Compiz version will have _NET_WM_FULLSCREEN_MONITORS in it and when that will happen? Is there any chance it can make it into the next released stable version?<br>
<br>Thanks, all! =:)<br clear="all"><br>-- <br> -[ Jason 'vanRijn' Kasper // <a href="http://movingparts.net">http://movingparts.net</a> ]-<br> -[ KDE PIM Developer // <a href="http://www.kde.org">http://www.kde.org</a> ]-<br>
