Icon locations on multiple monitors
Hi!
I have the issue with two monitor setup.
Problem description
I have two monitor setup.
First monitor is at the left, second is at the right.
I have icon named testicon.
I check the icon position with command: cat ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml | grep -i testicon -A 2
When I place the icon at first monitor to the top-right corner, I got this position:
"/home/sshopin/Desktop/files":
row: 0
col: 12When this icon is moved to the second monitor to the top-right corner, I got this
$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml | grep -i testicon -A 2 "/home/sshopin/Desktop/testicon": row: 0 col: 12 --
"/home/sshopin/Desktop/testicon": row: 0 col: 19Thus, I have two positions (old and new) of the same icon at the same time.
When I move icon to the first monitor, I got correct position:
$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml | grep -i testicon -A 2 "/home/sshopin/Desktop/testicon": row: 0 col: 17 When I again mode icon to the second monitor, I got this again:
$ cat ~/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0.yaml | grep -i testicon -A 2 "/home/sshopin/Desktop/testicon": row: 0 col: 12
-- "/home/sshopin/Desktop/testicon":
row: 0
col: 17 Please note, that at the same time, the second position (0,12) is also incorrect: it has a value of col=12, i.e., it is numbered starting from the upper left corner of the right monitor, rather than starting from the upper left corner of the entire virtual monitor. I suggest it must be something like (0,12+19), since the first monitor has 19 columns.
As a result, after rebooting, the icon will appear on the first monitor, not the second as it was placed before.
I suggest that a number of known issues with icons may be related to this behavior (i.e. 433, 434).
