Comment 4 for bug 702829

Hi ;o)

I use two screens at 1280x1024 side by side with the left screen as
main. I'm on the prop. Nvidia drivers, latest pushed in Ubuntu 10.10
main repos.

The main screen had the dock and the gnome panel was on the secondary.
So basically the first instance of Cardapio was in the gnome panel
(positioned at the top) on the right, secondary, screen and docky was
running in panel mode with the second instance of Cardapio on the main
screen (positioned at the bottom).

I know there is an additional funkyness with the screens though. The
BIOS and pre X system likes the right screen for main as it's
connected via DVI. However X and Nvidia drivers likes the left screen
as main since it's connected via VGA. Apparently X.org has legacy
prio. for VGA screens (called CRT in the conf no matter what kind of
screen it really is) over DVI (called DFP I think in the conf). This
might be old news for you, I just mentioned it since it trips my setup
at boot when I want the login screen on the left monitor but the
system always puts it on the right, even if the left is set as primary
for X ...

Finally the: "on top and in panel mode" is simply that docky is placed
at the top of the screen (as opposed to bottom, left or right) and in
panel (as opposed to dock) mode, so it spans across the top of the
screen. I did this just to test what could be wrong, thinking that it
might work if Cardapio offsetted from the same vertical position in
both instances ...

I had a SSD die on me a few day ago and just got a replacement so my
setup is not exactly the same, software vice, anymore. I was running
Ubuntu 11.04 alpha1 but let's be honest, Unity is so far from finished
right now it's not even funny ;o) So I decided to install 10.10 on the
new SSD. So might be a diff. there. I'll try Cardapio again with docky
and let you know how it looks on this setup, right now I'm using the
anchor icon to call up the application browser and that's not ideal in
any way ;o)

Thank you for your time and plz get back in touch if you need more
info. I'll post again when I have had a chance to try Cardapio with
this install.
