Reaching for the mouse all the time, quite...

I frequently have to remote into my work desktop using rdp. One pain point has always been that I have a dual screen setup at home, but am unable to take advantage of it because the rdp session only uses 1 screen.

When I'm working at home I plug my MacBook in to my 20" monitor as a second (right side) monitor. I do all my editing in Xcode on the larger monitor, and leave the menu bar, debugging and documentation on the laptop's monitor. The problem is when I disconnect from the second monitor and want to work on code in "laptop" mode. Now, whene...

Now, the problem is, when User A types something in his screen, if User B tries to do something, User A will end up in losing the focus from his window, which is...
I work in two environments with Visual Studio 2008: my laptop and my laptop+external monitor. When I work with a second monitor, I like for my solution explorer and other non-code windows to be on the second monitor, and my laptop screen to be just code files. It's a bit of a pain to rearrange windows every day as I switch between enviro...

Hello all, I am trying to set up dual monitors on ubuntu 8.10 and am having a lot of difficulty. I have tried going through many tutorials with no luck so I figure I will try here as well.

When I start debugging the project we are currently working on, the program window is not given proper focus in windows but is stacked behind the Visual Studio window. I don't think this problem occurs on any of my team members computers, so it looks like it's a problem on my system. Is there a setting in VS2008 for always on top or som...
I have a dual monitor setup and each has its own x screen in Ubuntu 9.04. Everything works as it should in screen 0. When I open an application in screen 1 (using any menu, e.g., Applications, Places, etc.), it opens in screen 0 instead of screen 1. So to get an application to open in screen 1, I hit - and type the program name. This al...
The Problem: You have dual monitors set up and view a Flash video (Let's say any YouTube video) in full screen mode in one of the monitors. If you work on the other monitor, the video would exit the full screen mode. Therefore, you cannot work while watching video in fullscreen mode. The Solution: A Google search yields this brillia...

I have multiple monitors. I use these utilities to help with window management: UltraMon - a taskbar on each monitor Taskix - click and drag to reorder taskbar buttons GridMove - middle-click and drag to resize/reposition windows to half the screen But they don't really play well with each other: Taskix doesn't allow me to move bu...
Well, simple situation. Is it possible to detect if a user has a dual monitor setup from a web application? If this is possible, is it possible to open a child browser page on this second monitor, so the new window doesn't overlap the old one? Reason why I ask: I'm working on a web application and at home I have a dual-monitor system. W...
The title pretty much describes it. If I resize my WPF app so that it stretches over two monitors in a dual monitor setup, and resize it back, there will be a ghost window in the second monitor that does nothing, but is still moved when I move the original window in the first screen. Has anyone had issues like this? I think its a refres...
Is there any way to create a Silverlight "Out of Browser" Application that can have two windows each on it's own screen and have these two windows communicate?

I have an application with a secondary view that should be shown fullscreen on the other monitor (the one the main app is not on). Displaying the frame works quite well with frame.showFullScreen(); But, how can I tell it which screen it should be on? Is there a way to detect if a second screen is avauilable, as well? ...
