Hello,

I'm not really sure what the correct place to ask this is - but since my 
system is running on 11.1 beta3, I'm at least not completely 
off-topic ;-)

To sum up my problem:
- I use a dual-head setup (laptop display + external monitor)
- I have installed Crossover (hey, they gave it away for free ;-)
- Inside Crossover, I installed Internet Explorer 6 (unfortunately some 
  sort of must-have if you create websites - at least I must be able to 
  check what IE breaks this time)
- to make it secure, Crossover runs as another user I ssh -X into

The result:
- IE works without problems (or should I say "shows it usual bugs"? ;-)
- When I close IE, it changes my X config (!) to only use the laptop 
  display instead of dualhead. I guess this is done via some xrandr 
  call.
- for comparison: Running notepad.exe within Crossover doesn't change 
  the X config
- after logout / login, I get my dualhead setup back

Now my question:
- how can I avoid that IE changes my X config when I close it?
- is there a better place for my question?
- what is the correct call to setup a dualhead environment using xrandr?
  I tested a bit, but didn't find the correct commandline.


Regards,

Christian Boltz
