conky ignores xinerama_head on e17

[dgiglio]

Conky always appears on the same monitor despite of the value of xinerama_head. But it only happens on E17, in XFCE4 it works correctly.

A year passed. Can you determine if you're still having this problem today? Thank you.

Have bumped into what looks like same issue, also with enlightenment window manager and mismatched monitor resolutions.
Currently tested 4 corner aligment options, and issue only manifests with top_right and bottom_right options - bottom_left and top_left work as expected.

Using current-git version, default conky.conf with added xinerama_head = 1 option and:

• alignment = top_left (works as expected) - https://i.imgur.com/tpZys8U.jpg
• alignment = top_right (wrong display/position) - https://i.imgur.com/Z5bwSXw.jpg

In the second case, conky seem to be calculating correct position within smaller right monitor (1280x1024), but then uses that position to place window on wrong monitor (left one, 1080p).

xrandr output for my hardware/xorg configuration:

This is the issue with head/alignment I've mentioned in #613 and seem to be also quite similar to #430 (where top_left works fine on non-primary display, but other alignments do not).

Also of note - don't think I am using xinerama extention at all - it's not in Xorg.conf (which only have ServerFlags in there) and it is not mentioned in E (enlightenment) configuration anywhere (though then neither is RandR).
xrandr display setup (in the gist above) is done by E, which sets monitor resolutions and positions on start or hotplug according to its configuration (generally done via GUI applet).

xdpyinfo reports that xinerama extension is supported on the server though:

Conky logs with -DD options show identical "Fixed xinerama area to" lines regardless of alignment option:

DEBUG(0) [.../conky/src/x11.cc:467]: Fixed xinerama area to: 1920 0 3200 1024
DEBUG(0) [.../conky/src/x11.cc:467]: Fixed xinerama area to: 1920 0 3200 1024

This is when using xinerama_head=1, with xinerama_head=0 position is "0 0 1920 1080".

In both cases, wrt corners of display area, this ouput seems correct.

Highlighted where window position seem to be calculated incorrectly in such monitor configurations in #615, with potential fix which works in my case, though not sure if it handles all possible build/config/setup variants, as I don't understand reasoning behind code that was there previously.

Hi @dgiglio, could you see if #615 solves your issue? Thank you.
