Which particular seamless flag changes the multi-monitor behavior for an
app? I have been working with Citrix support for quite a while on this and
they are doing custom coding for one of my customers to get pop-up dialogs
to appear on one monitor instead of in the middle of the two monitors (half
on one, half on the other).

Carl

Not strictly true.  The seamless flags can change this behaviour.  So does
the Client driver settings (you can set this behaviour for normal local apps
by tweaking with Nvidia settings).  It changes on an App by App basis and
what calls within the app.  It is a hell of a lot better with PS4 but could
still do with some further work.  See my other email for some links.  

We run Xpe FR3 with 1-8 monitors.  If you keep apps on Primary monitor it
does behave reasonably normally.  When you start using monitor 2-8 it can
get a bit funny.  PS4 fixes most of this.....

Feature request.  Not so sure.  We could see a fault was introduced in FR3
which wasn't present in previous versions with multi monitors.  Our argument
was they broke it with a service pack.  They however wanted lots of money to
port PS4 behaviour into FR3.  It was something to do with the XP rounded
windows display things...A seamless setting helped but came with other
problems.

That's how multi-monitor support works in Citrix and is by design. The
problem is that Citrix treats two monitors as one big monitor.

If you wish to get it changed (and every customer I work with wants to get
it changed), call Citrix support and submit a feature enhancement request. I
had one customer almost ditch Citrix because of this multi-monitor behavior.

Subject: [THIN] Published application on PC with multiple monitors

Hi all,

I have problem with published application on PC with two monitors.
Especially with Lotus Notes (but not only with LN), if I try to maximize
windows with published LN it is maximized on both monitors. 
And even if some other application is running on one monitor, messages and
other dialogs (for example open file dialog) are displayed in the middle of
both monitors so that one half  of message is on the first monitor and the
second one on the second monitor.

Is there some way how to modify this behaviour ?

PS 4.0, ICA 9.150

I will appreciate any ideas.

Regards,

Ivo Pastyrik
