#873 icewm 1.3 fails with qt-menus in multi-heads
If using e.g. dolphin in a multihead environment under icewm, the pulldown menus (File,Edit,...) are only visible on the primary screen.
At all other screens the button is selected but no menu appears. The problem occurs also with other qt apps like smplayer or yast2.
No such problem with icewm 1.2.
debian squeeze
icewm v1.3.7~pre2-1
dual-head nvidia card
proprietary nvidia driver
same problem with qt-menus.

Actualy the first version that shows this problem is 1.3.4pre1, the 1.3.3 version works fine. The 1.2 series works fine too

The following patch fix the issue: http://pastebin.com/wxJyeWMH
Actually it was inspired by the corresponding patches for the awesome WM ( https://awesome.naquadah.org/bugs/index.php?getfile=289 ). It simply remove support for _NET_WORKAREA. Not sure it is the best solution but everything seems to work fine now.
Another workaround is to disable both xrandr and xinerama when compiling icewm. It means the task bar will span monitors (and maybe other minor issues), but I personally prefer that anyways.
