Bug#416251: even with non-full-screen windows

retitle 416251 window positioning not compatible with xinerama
thanks

I was able to reproduce the problem with non-fullscreen iceweasel
and epiphany windows, but not so with jpilot and kazehakaze.

An interesting point to note is that when started on head 1, the
window x position would be such that the edge between head 0 and head
1 (x == 1280) would be exactly 0.5 through the window's width.
Mathematically, Px is position, Wx is width:

  Px = 1280 - Wx/2

I can reproduce the full-screen behaviour at will. With
non-fullscreen windows it sometimes just works the way it should
(such that the window does not overlay onto another head), but
definitely not all the time.

Thanks,
