Hi all,
I did some searching, and possibly could have missed it, but I was curious if there is a way to open applications on the monitor that I launch the program from?
Example, if I bring up my menu, select to open Mirage, it launches in the middle of my monitors. Though it does seem aware of already open windows, I dont always have others open.
Its not really a problem that I mind, I was just wondering if I am missing something. One monitor is set to primary, Conky, and Nautilus recognize this, but in a way, I dont always want Nautilus to open on the primary, I imagine I could deselect the primary, and specify the monitor for Conky to use, but then Nautilus is going to open in the middle, like other applications.
Im using twinview, and set up my xorg.conf with nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-settings. I tried to use 'separate X screens" but it didnt want to work, Im sure I am at fault for that not working, and I originally thought I wanted to use separate X screens, but am kind of liking using one large wallpaper now.
On a side note, xscreensaver doesnt span both monitors, I get two screensavers, I didnt expect that.
Again, not really a big deal, Im so loving using freeBSD and Openbox as a desktop, sure beats the heck out of any other OS's Ive ever used....wish I hadnt waited this long to switch, and this ol machine has about ran them all, though Linux only lasted a few days years ago, before I ditched that expletive deleted.
Thanks.
