I'll second a request for this. This is exactly how I would like fullscreen mode to work. Having the standard title bar taking up space on my second display is the only thing that really ends up bugging me with 2.3.1. I don't remember doing anything special to make this work back in 10.4.x, I think that's just how it worked. My memory is admittedly a little fuzzy, though. Kyle Lucke

Thanks for not cleaning my clock for my making a comment but not yet offering a solution. When I was running 10.4.x, I was using Apple's stock X11.app, and mwm because of my AIX (before IBM went to the CDE) background. I don't think my solution back then was as elegant as the one you suggest, which I'll check out ASAP. Thanks.

That doesn't seem like a dumb response to me... It's quite interesting actually. Were you using Apple's stock X11.app or were you using XDarwin.app?
This functionality could be hacked into the existing xorg-server (look in hw/xquartz/xpr/xprScreen.c for something like xprAddScreen or xprAddDisplay) ... you could just put an 'if(this is a display i want to exclude) continue;' into the look adding all the displays.
I guess we could do something like another defaults option that is a list of displays to exlude somehow...

This (mine) has to be one of the dumbest responses ever. Still I want Samad to know that back in '06 under 10.4.x I hooked up my flat-screen TV to my MacBookPro and configured X to run full- screen on the TV while my regular Apple desktop remained intact on the laptop screen. In those days my window manager was mwm (Motif that I compiled from source code). Coincidentally, yesterday I started trying to remember how I did it so I could created the same capability using my MacPro (10.5.6—XQuartz 2.2.2_rc4) and the same TV. When I do (if it's still possible), I'll post my solution.

Ah, great! Thanks.
I have an external monitor attached to the laptop. Is there anyway I can tell X11.app to set the size and location of the root window so that the root window covers one screen completely but not the other?
Sorry, no.
