Folks,

Environment: Ubuntu 14.04, Openbox, nVidia controller. HDMI output of controller to a big TV. VGA output to a standard monitor.

From nVidia control panel, I have created xcreen0 for standard monitor and xscreen1 for TV.

The idea is to run VLC full screen on TV while still be able to do some other things on the monitor.

I have created a few desktop files that I copied to ~/Desktop directory. These desktop icons must only be available on xscreen0. However, they appear on both screens.

Apparently, Unity has some user interface to control this. However, I am using Openbox. Therefore, I am wondering if there is a command line tool that I could use to control where the desktop icons get displayed.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Regards,
Peter
