Description of problem:
Started with:
Display 1 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 1)
Display 2 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 2)
Then I switched Display 2 to full-screen.
Display 1 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 1)
Display 2 1920x1080 (Full-screen Monitor 2)
Shutdown the VM.
Started same VM.
Both displays came up in Windowed mode. Display 1 is in Monitor 1 and Display 2 is mostly in Monitor 1.
Took Display 2 that was in Windowed mode and tried to resize it to 1024x768 using the Windows Display Properties.
That is when Display 2 maximized itself in Monitor 1. 1920x979. As long as Display 2 was in Monitor 1, you could not resize Display 2.
I dragged the the maximized Display 2 to Monitor 2 and could only then set the resolution to 1024x768.

I can reproduce this issue with:
virt-viewer-0.5.6-7.el6.x86_64
Steps:
1.Use remote-viewer to launch a winxp guest from rhevm,enable 2 displays.
Display 1 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 1)
Display 2 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 2)
2.Switched Display 2 to full-screen.
Display 1 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 1)
Display 2 1280x1024 (Full-screen Monitor 2)
3.In guest,click "Start"->"Power off".
4.Restart the guest on rhevm.
5.Use remote-viewer to launch the guest again.
Display 1 1024x768 (Windowed mode Monitor 1)
Display 2 1280x1024 (Windowed mode Monitor 1)
6.Once 2 displays are all in Monitor 1,I can not change the resolution of Display 2,it maximized itself as 1680*949.If I drag display on Monitor 2,I can resize it.
But I can not reproduce it with:
virt-viewer-0.5.6-8.el6.x86_64
Would you pls try the latest version of virt-viewer?
