I use a setup where I have my laptop directly below of me, with its keyboard and screen, and then have a 19-inch LCD HDTV behind it, which I use as a primary monitor.
I'm having a lot of issues with using this setup in GNOME on Fedora 19.
1. If I unplug the HDMI cable (like when I'm using my PS3 and want to revert to a dual-monitor setup), suspend the laptop, or disable one of the screens, all of my windows are suddenly shifted to one monitor when I reconnect.
2. It's unpredictable which screen a given game or application will open on. I literally don't know how to tell. The screen I use to launch it does not seem to matter. Sometimes the one I last closed it on does.
3. Fullscreen games and apps will either a) use the wrong screen, or b) stretch across both screens for no apparent reason.
4. Even after I've disabled one monitor (like if I'm trying to get a fullscreen game to not span both screens), my laptop continues to think that it should be outputting sound to the screen I don't want it to. I also have to configure it manually to use headphones if I want to plug those in, by going to Setting -> Sound.
Am I doing something wrong? Is there a fix that I'm missing? I don't like having to take GNOME by the hand and tell it what to do each time my hardware setup changes.
