it also happens when you move the smaller monitor to primary position.. the screen size is not recalculated and the rest of the screen (icons on the left) are shown on the second monitor This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. No obvious connection to Metacity, reassigning to Nautilus. This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** Not sure what should be the designed behaviour here. I guess we never really thought about it. (In reply to comment #1) > it also happens when you move the smaller monitor to primary position.. the > screen size is not recalculated and the rest of the screen (icons on the left) > are shown on the second monitor In dualmonitor setup, is it possible to move the icons to the second screen? I wonder what happens when you lower the resolution enough (for the whole desktop) - do the icons overflow of the screen or just wrap up? (In reply to comment #5) > Not sure what should be the designed behaviour here. I guess we never really > thought about it. My two cents: I would expect icons to always "naturally" reflow across the available area. For example: - you have a 1280x1024 primary display full of icons - you attach another 1280x1024 external display and lower the resolution of the primary one to 800x600 - icons should still fill the 800x600 area, but those in excess should start filling the secondary display; the principle here is it's worse to lose the icon completely (i.e. no access to a document unless you browse ~/Desktop in a normal window) than losing a custom icon position or spatial memory. It looks I'm hitting a different bug - say I have two 1280x1024 screens, when I lower the primary monitor resolution, nautilus moves all icons to the bigger screen. Restoring the original resolution moves icons back on primary monitor. Could be a WM issue since my terminal has moved to the second screen as well - some kind of window rearrangement to another screen having the closest dimensions to the original. Weird. Anyway I confirm the original issue, I've just placed an icon to the outer edge of the secondary screen, lowered resolutions of both screens and the icon got lost. When I restart nautilus, dimensions of the root window (the desktop) is retrieved properly and icons are re-arranged. So what's missing here is the handler for screen-size change. Hitting F5 (refresh) on the desktop will rearrange icons properly as well. This should be an easy fix. *** Bug 719903 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Created attachment 567067 [details]
nautilus-2.28.4-screen-size-refresh.patch
This patch triggers a desktop directory refresh when screen size changes which also rearranges all icons to be visible.
