[OLPC-AU] Sugar Mirrored on Dual Monitors

[James Cameron]

G'day Peter,

Your problem is that the Sugar desktop does not respond to the change of
screen size, and as a result the activity ring in the home view is not
redrawn with new dimensions.

This was a known problem [1] in Sugar 0.88, which you are using ... as
it is what SoaS Mirabelle (v3) is based upon [2].

You should seek a later build than SoaS v3.  The release schedule says
it should be released tomorrow [3] but I've no clue how well it is
tracking.  The sugar-devel mailing list might be able to help.  The
question becomes "When will SoaS v4 be ready?  I need a fix that is in
it!".

Alternatively, if you wish to try to fix the problem yourself, the
code change [4] seems straightforward ... if you know how to apply patches
mechanically to source code using the patch program.  The sugar-session
process would need to be restarted after the change, and if you get the
change wrong it won't start up again.
