Seamless Applications misbehave on multiple monitors

Had a customer call up with some major seamless application issues. These incuded white squares, inactive application windows, application windows off screen (to right of second monitor in dual monitor setup).

Environment: Server 2008 R2 RDSH, Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 clients, vWorkspace 7.1.

If they ran the same seanless applications on a single monitor, everything worked properly.

The problem turned out to be due to a mix of RDP multi-monitor behaviour and vWorkspace multimonitor support. The client was set to "span multiple monitors when in full screen mode" (SpanMonitors=1 in config.xml) as well as "Display remote applications seamlessly on local desktop" (Seamless=1 in config.xml). From an RDP client viewpoint the desktop was one big monitor, but the vWorkspace client multi-monitor support saw the desktop as 2 monitors.

This resultant mess resulted from window adressing on 2 different virtual screen layouts and was truly weird.

Once SpanMonitors was set to zero (or untick "span multiple monitors when in full screen mode") the seamless applications behaved as expected.

    Just out of curiosity I wonder what the result would be if you would use the Microsoft seamless engine that currently is in the 7.2 beta?
