Bug Description
One thing I have realised thanks to the info displayed on the gnome applet bar is that the logger seems to only record what is happening on one of my 2 X screens.
Here is what I am running on:
- Mandriva 2008.1
- nvidia GeForce FX 4400
- two FP displays
Nvidia configured to have 2 separate X screens next to each other.
For the sake of completeness, here is how this config works:
You have two virtual desktops which behave independently of each other. Apps on one screen stay on that screen, which is quite different from Twinview where you basically have one desktop across both screens. With the mouse pointer you move from one screen to the other.
RescueTime is only logging what is going on on one screen and not the other. What seems to be worse is that the logger is logging time on the app that has focus on the one screen when you are actually working on a different app on the other screen. The logger's focus is always on the same sreen.
Regards,
Erwin

I don't know much about running separate X screens.
Does the first X screen (with rescuetime running in it) ever go idle while you are working in the other screen?
Is it possible to run two instances of rescuetime, one in each screen?
Do you know anyway of finding out which X screen the user is currently working in?
