It definitely has nothing to do with Xinerama. Probably it has a lot to do with the fact that we used to hide windows by moving them offscreen; this needs to be re-evaluated. As such I'm CC-ing the deciders.
Ah, then an easy solution would seem to be to move windows offscreen by a fixed distance (chosen perhaps to be larger than any reasonable viewable area, or perhaps chosen at runtime to be larger than the actual screen area).
But why is it that we can't just unmap the windows? (possibly displaying my ignorance...)
Indeed. :) I used past tense, because unmapping is what we do now.
Ah, yes, I see that you did use the past tense... so presumably we no longer would need to store and restore those positions?
Right. Stefan
