I have two monitors, monitor 2 is physically left of monitor 1, monitor
1 is the primary monitor. (It has to be that way, unfortunately.)
XFree86-xserv 4.2.0-28.
In startxwin.sh, I have
XWin -multiwindow -clipboard -multiplemonitors
xterm &
xterm appears in the upper left hand corner of my primary monitor, it
works fine. I then drag the xterm window left to the secondary monitor.
It redraws fine. When I try to type in a command, my keyboard input does
not show up in the xterm. I drag the xterm window back to the primary
monitor. The xterm redraws, updating to show all of my keyboard input.
While on the secondary monitor, the xterm is actually responding, but
not displaying, e.g.,
# ls
actually runs ls, and
# xterm &
actually runs another xterm (which then pops up on my primary monitor,
able to accept all input).
