Bug Description

Using Ubuntu ~10.04 Beta2 with version 0.4.0-0ubuntu1, using the NVidia binary drivers 195.36.15-0ubuntu2, with Compiz as window manager.

I connect my laptop to a larger monitor at work. The display is resized using the NVidia tool to set up TwinView.

Upon resize, the gnome panel stretches to adapt to the new size, but AWN doesn't, and ends up floating in the middle of the screen - see screenshot.

After the switch xrandr reports:

Before the switch the resolution is 1440x900.

In the Awn settings app -> Advanced the monitor width is reported at 1440x900.

Force Monitor is not set. I tried it with and without FM set.

The resolution is not updated from 1440x900 -> 2560x1600 when the larger monitor is enabled.

Entering 2560x1600 manually in the monitor width/height fields makes the panel move to the right place. Of course when the large monitor is disabled, the panel is off-screen.

What happens if you check and again uncheck "Force monitor" after you connect the second monitor?

FWIW I installed R725 as mentioned in http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/awn-lucido-merged-into-awn-trunk-builds.html and it doesn't fix the problem here. I don't know whether that is supposed to include the fix, though.

Let me know if you need more information :-)

Sorry Michal - reinstalled from the official awn-testing PPA.

The result is exactly the same though:
- AWN starts up in the middle of my screen when the screen size is 2560x1600 and Force monitor is off
- With Force monitor ON and screen size set to 2560x1600, AWN moves to the right edge as it should.
- When the larger monitor is disabled, with Force monitor ON, AWN is off-screen, presumably at the right edge at x=2560. I.e. the screen size that Force monitor uses is not updated.

Thanks for looking at this.

Btw, this is on a Mac laptop, and even OSX doesn't get this right :-)

Hmm, I'm getting clueless, though I see that I forgot something, but I have no idea if it'll help, anyway could you try this please:
1) have force_monitor OFF
2) connect your second monitor
3) awn didn't update, right?
4) check and uncheck force_monitor
5) so now force_monitor is OFF again
6) any changes?

 Yes, correct.

4) check and uncheck force_monitor
5) so now force_monitor is OFF again
6) any changes?

Correct, no changes.

The dock stays at x=1440 and the numbers in the configuration dialog are still 1440x900.

In that case I'm clueless, AFAIK we're monitoring now everything what Gtk emits wrt monitors.
