[X2Go-Dev] Bug#1197: Bug#1197: Multihead fullscreen not working with TCE client in displaymanager mode

[Ulrich Sibiller]

I suspect the X server in TCE does not offer proper XINERAMA support.
So nxagent does not know about multiple monitors. You can check with
xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA on the TCE X server (don't know how to access
that.)
