Hi,

I am testing rdesktop 1.7 on Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard, it compiled and
runs just fine but I have a question regarding geometry settings and dual
displays.

We have many laptop users that sometimes use their machines with and
sometimes without an external monitor. I found that if I send the command
"-g 90%" for instance I can get rdesktop to take up 90% of the available
screen. This works great until I initiate it on a dual display system, then
it seems to treat both monitors as a single monitor and spreads the window
across both screens. Is there any way to specify that I want rdesktop to
use just 90% of the primary display when running on a dual display system?
What I am trying to accomplish is to have a single icon the user can click
to launch rdesktop but have the size of the screen change when they are
using their laptops with a larger external display.

Thanks in advance.
