That should be enough. Thanks for the idea, but that seems like a huge kludge. It seems to me that sawfish should be able to figure that out by itself. Another problem with the avoided window is that it will not keep the mouse from traveling into the dead space. Sawfish already knows about the dimensions of the heads: > sawfish-client: user> (current-head-dimensions ) (1680 . 1050) [ move window to other head ] user> (current-head-dimensions ) (1024 . 1280) It also knows that the dead space in the ascii art below isn't actually in a head: user> (find-head 0 1049) 1 user> (find-head 0 1050) () Am I the only person trying to run sawfish with mis-matched screens? > On Wed, Jul 23, 2008 at 6:05 PM, Omen Wild <omen+sawfish mandarb com> wrote: > I have two questions about using sawfish with dual monitors, but with one > rotated.
