For some reason new windows always open on the secondary display and I always need to manually drag them to my primary display. That's sooo annoying (since UNIX applications tend to open new windows on every action). To avoid this, I want to disable the second monitor (and *only* use the primary). But whatever I do, XWin seems to ignore whatever I supply. For example, I start /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -nomultiplemonitors /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -screen 0 @1 -nomultiplemonitors /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -screen 0 @1 /usr/bin/startxwin.exe -- -mwextwm -screen 0 @1 -nomultiplemonitors and so on. Nothing works - everything as before. When I select "Hide Root Window" from the tray icon I see that the root window indeed covers both monitors. Any suggestions?
