Comment 6 for bug 376848

Hey Martin,
the Idea is not bad and I can exactly follow your thoughts. But the problem in my case would be, that my screen-size changes from time to time as I use a laptop and connect the second screen only at home/office.
When we place the desktop cover the way you described it will mean, that it has to be placed outside the screen when I am on travel and my screen-size is low (laptop-display only).

what I am thinking of is, that the user should have a option to choose the gravity-corner:
Option 1: Top-Left-Corner
Option 2: Top-Right-Corner
Option 3: Bottom-Left-Corner
Option 4: Bottom-Right-Corner
Option 5: Screen-Center

So lets say I select Bottom-Right-Corner and move my desktop-cover to a certain position somewhere on my second display (the right one). The next day I have only one display, so my screen is smaller and the actual desktop-cover position is calculated as "X-Resolution" - "Distance_from_right" (same for Y) and will appear on the left (now only) display.

I hope I explained it clear enough ;-)
