Bug#618884: some more info

[Rémi Letot]

Hello,

some more info since last message:

* problem still there with latest gnome-shell (3.0.0.2-1)
* problem still there with latest xserver (2:1.10.1-1)

Furthermore, I noticed one more thing when the secondary screen 
(external monitor) is above the primary screen (laptop), so when I'm in 
the problematic configuration : if I open the gnome display properties 
in the control center, both screen labels appear on the primary screen 
instead of on their respective screens.

Also, some windows do open on the secondary screen, but then they are 
completely "horizontally minimized" to the right of the screen. I mean 
that they appear like a thin vertical band in the overview and to the 
right of the screen. I can select and drag the window or one of the 
sides to make it larger and perfectly useable. I don't know how to 
trigger that specific behaviour, but it does happen regularly.

I'm suspecting a geometry problem, some kind of misunderstanding between 
the X server and gnome-shell, but I don't know how to investigate that.

HTH,
