Bug Description

I have a single X desktop that spans multiple monitors where the primary is to the right of the left.

If I right click any of the leftmost icons, the popup menu spans both monitors (making it quite hard to read).

I have tested moving the dock to my secondary monitor; in this case the rightmost icons' popup menus align their right edge with the monitor boundary and the leftmost icons with the left edge of the screen.

You'll have to bear with us, none of the devs have multiple monitors. :-)

Can you please test code for me? I might have a fix for this but as I said, we can't really test it out.

Compile/install/test this branch: lp:~psybers/docky/bug544047

Instructions are similar to here:
http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Install#Installing_From_Source

Just replace the 'bzr branch lp:docky' with 'bzr branch lp:~psybers/docky/bug544047'

There should be a similar problem with the hover texts, I believe. This test branch attempts to also fix those.

My multi monitor setup isn't available at the moment (and I'm missing it!). I'll be able to test it again in a week or so.

Sorry for the delay in testing such a small fix.

The patch appears to work perfectly.
