RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Vitezslav Humpa 2011-07-08 11:11:46 UTC
Description of problem:
When changing the primary output to the right screen the desktop icons always stay on the left, separate from the panel.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.28.4-15.el6.x86_64
gnome-desktop-2.28.2-8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Boot and log in with two displays connected. A secondary monitor should be on the right by default.

Now running "xrandr --output <SEC> --primary --left-of <PRIM>" will switch the primary output to the secondary as desired. But making the the secondary to be on the left: "xrandr --output <SEC> --primary --right-of <PRIM>" will keep the icons on the non-primary display. 
  
Actual results:
Icons do not move to the primary display with panel

Expected results:
They do

Additional info:
Looks like nautilus is simply seeking the leftmost desktop to place the icons instead of checking by the panel or a configuration of the primary display.

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-08 11:38:25 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Sorry Vita, this looks like a bug 600260 (or will be most likely fixed together) :-)
