How to make VcXsrv restrict applications to the active monitor?

[minhtk1]

I am using VcXsrv in multiwindow mode, and I want applications to only be displayed on the monitor they are launched on.

Currently, when running an X application, it can be moved freely between monitors, but I would like it to be restricted to a specific monitor based on where it was opened.

Is there any option or configuration in VcXsrv that allows this behavior? If not, are there any workarounds to achieve this?

Display monitor

Thank you!

Hi, you can try playing around with the vcxsrv parameters in the x2goclient configuration menu. I have these settings: [image: image.png] Beware that finding the right settings is cumbersome. Also note that (for me) it is not really intuitive what mode x2goclient will select. I heavily depends on your session configuration. Uli

Please also note that this is an x2go issue. This issue tracker is about nx-libs only. On Tue, Feb 18, 2025 at 11:15 AM Ulrich Sibiller ***@***.***> wrote:
