[e-users] how to move window that is off screen

[Mehturt]

I switched from my monitory (1900x1200) to my laptop (1280x800) and
one of my window is positioned off screen, so I can't grab it with the
mouse to move it.
Can I move it using keyboard, or some obscure command?
I tried wmctrl -r -e but it does not seem to do anything.
Thanks..

Hi,

I am not on my E17 environment now, but if you left-click on the
desktop in the menu there should be something like 'Windows->Lost
Windows'.

If you click on it it should rearrange the windows to fit nicely on the Desktop.

I'm sorry that I can't be more precise, but I hope it helps.

Left click -> Windows -> Lost windows?
or,
Middle click -> Cleanup windows?

In fact this might even be a new bug. E by default rearranges the windows
on resolution change so that they show up relatively in the same position
as they were before the resolution change. See this for example:

Can be.
I am using xrandr to switch between external monitor and laptop (I
only use 1 screen at a time, so I turn the other one off).
I also noticed that when switching, all the windows appear on desktop 1.
I am on rev 69043.

changing screens was probably early December. And I used disper (a utility
for nvidia cards) to change screens.
