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) :-)
