[Notion-general] xinerama vs dock

[Thomas K. <tk...@gi...>]

Hi!

I've just started packaging notion for pkgsrc and evaluating it for my use.

I like that it works fine with WindowMaker dock apps and is a bit more
intuitive to use than other tiling window managers.

I have one issue with mplayer though. I'm using two screens, and when
I press 'f' in mplayer, it gets centered over both screens, i.e. half
is on one screen, half on the other (the size is correct for one
screen, not for two).

Weirdly, youtube flash fullscreen works fine for me, it uses one
complete screen (replacing dock and title bar).

I thought that perhaps the xinerama extension might help, so I added
dopath("mod_xinerama") to ~/.notion/cfg_notion.lua. The result was
that I lost my dock apps and the status bar; it's now displayed on
neither of the two screens (it was on the left monitor before).

Please advise how to get better fullscreen support for mplayer, or how
I can get the dock back with mod_xinerama.

One other question: Do I understand correctly: since notion doesn't
use the ion name, does it fall under a plain GNU LGPL v2.1?

Thanks,
 Thomas
