Sorry if it's come up before, but I've searched everywhere I can
find.
I've got a system with twin monitors, running FC5 and Gnome 2.14.
Unlike most other users, I _don't_ want gnome to start a desktop on
my second monitor - I have an app that runs fullscreen on the secondary
monitor.
I have tried everything I can think of to make gnome ignore the second
monitor, with no success:
- run xinit manually, and manually start gnome-session with:
DISPLAY=:0.0
gnome-session --display=:0.0
gnome-session --screen=0
without success. The desktop session _always_ grabs my second monitor.
So, before I start digging into source code, can anyone offer a
semi-desperate
newbie some advice?
