[Bug 43582] Re: Metacity mistakenly opens Impress presentation on primary head of dual head setup

[markginter24]

Did a bit more digging.  This is an open report from a few years ago.  Personally it's a bit irksome that it hasn't been dealt with -- especially since using metacity it is impossible to do a presentation on a second head in GNOME - in effect making GNOME unusable for a dual-head presentation setup.  In GNOME it is bug 145503 and from there a link exists for a patch that a guy applies up through FC5 to correct the behavior.  I am not at a place to try the patch - nor do I know how to extract it from an .rpm source file.  The link is:  http://www.vislab.uq.edu.au/research/accessgrid/software/fedora/related/

Is there any hope of such a patch - like in multiverse as maybe a metacity-xinerama package?  This would be very helpful to laptop users like myself :)  Thanks for your time!
