Multi-Monitor setup acting up Thread last updated on 2008-06-07 08:20:46

I'm using the Gnome Mini RC5 theme by Cormack on Windows XP pro. I just set up my dual monitors, and something weird happens when I click stuff. Sometimes when I click on a button on the litestep theme or right click the desktop, all my modules disappear even though Litestep is still running. So, my taskbar, VWM, system tray, everything is gone! I have searched the forums and there seems to be no one else with this problem. I have read about other peoples problems with dual monitors, and one solution that I thought might work for me is not loading the VWM module, but that didn't fix anything. Please help!

Edit: I went into my hotkey.rc and added this line
*Hotkey WIN H !togglemodules

and this allows me to temporarily fix the problem, but would still like to find a more solid solution.

Normally it is always the VWM module switching screens that screws it up. When you say you disabled the VWM module...did you do it via the theme popup or did you edit it out of the theme.rc?

I commented out the netmodule line in the theme.rc.

How many times must you execute that hotkey for the modules to reappear? Once or twice?

only once to make them reappear, and they disappear randomly.

It seems that when i focus a window on my 2nd monitor, that the litestep modules disappear. I havent noticed this until now and im drunk.
