Hm. This should be fixable. At least our initial default settings should
be set to avoid this. Could not the gnopernicus main window be set to
appear in the opposite corner of the magnification area?
2) sounds like a bug? Can you get a screenshot?
Right, so I've put a screenshot here:
http://people.ubuntu.com/~henrik/images/Screenshot-ZoomerOptions.png
but basically you can see that it has chosen to set itself at x1=320
x2=639 y1=0 y2=479
My display is set to 1280x800 (which I guess gnopernicus should be able
to read out).
3) you need to bring in another screen for gnome-mag to correctly utilize
the full magnification ability. This can be accomplished through a dummy
screen driver or an extra vid card.
I have dual head on my card (d-sub + dvi) and an extra screen so I
should be able to set this up. However I guess it's not what were aiming
for with the default install on the Live CD.
Considering what we know about the default behavior of gnopernicus and
the default layout of the ubuntu desktop I suggest we tell the magnifier
to start with the zoom window on the right-hand side of the display. Two
reasons for this: We don't risk covering the Applications et al. menus
and the gnopernicus settings window would tend to appear in the top left
area on an otherwise empty desktop. So the settings should be:
x1 = DisplayWidth/2
x2 = DiplayWidth
y1 = 24
y2 = DisplayHeight-24
Where I've taken the gnome-panel bars to be 24px high top and bottom.
When I do that on my system it seems to boot into a usable setup.
