Hi, your comment rang a bell. The Firefox window was apparently maximized when I upgraded the box. Firefox remembers the previous window size, and it seems like the (updated) XFCE window manager now thinks that the (updated) Firefox window is too big, and displays it on virtual screen 1 as a fallback strategy. I resized the window a little, closed Firefox, and opened it again - now it will open on the very screen which happens to be active. Problem solved. Poster embarrassed. Thanks a lot. regards, Markus Norberto Meijome writes: > sounds like a session manager saved "firefox on this desktop"... not sure which > one would do it when you start it up (usually they restore programs on > startup...) > -- Markus Hoenicka markus.hoenicka@cats.de (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de
