I've had a second monitor added to my system here at work (for CAD
purposes). The NT desktop now sprawls across both monitors (the video
manufacturer's driver driving identical video cards) and I'm not sure
how much NT is aware of the new configuration.
Some apps (like my CAD software) are trained to take all the space
available; others seem to open with their previous geometry, just
centred and split between the two screens. The Cygwin window is
elongated width-wise but the text seems to be vertically compressed.
XEmacs doesn't seem to know what to do, starting to open with the top
left corner maybe a hundred pixels in from the edge in each direction,
but the bottom right corner nowhere in sight (the frame is off the
bottom of both screens and beyond the right edge of the right monitor).
It folds up before displaying anything other than the toolbar with the
following:
Lisp backtrace follows:
# bind (p logo cramped-p)

[1]+ Segmentation fault xemacs
I've added frame size to my .emacs, but I think it comes too late to
avert the crash.
Otherwise b41 built and installed nicely (with Andy's patches).
