Using X11 with multiple monitors


  • Subject: Using X11 with multiple monitors

I often use X11 with my laptop connected to a larger external monitor. I generally find that in this configuration when I start up an X application (nedit, gimp, etc.) from an X11 window on the external monitor, the application's window pops up on the laptop monitor. Since I'm usually focused on working on the external monitor (this is the one I've selected in the Displays preference to have the Apple menu), I then have to manually drag the application's window from the laptop monitor over to the external monitor. Is there any way of telling X11 to put new application window by default on the external monitor with the Apple menu rather than the laptop monitor?

-Thanks, Don Spong
