ANY server with two screens, whether side-by-side, large and small, color & b/w, logical or physical, will have this problem. Yup. However, solving this little piece now still leaves the larger issue to deal with. Folks have been somewhat reticent about attacking the same problem several times. Believe it or not, I've wanted to have have per-screen resources that get merged on top of the XA_RESOURCE_MANAGER resources for a while now, but haven't had enough answers to the other problems to justify the issue. If you claim that it's too hard to 'do it right' and so you're not going to do *anything* about it until some later release, It's not that it's too hard, just that it hasn't been enough of a problem. However, by being a squeaky wheel, you've undoubtedly gotten people to at least start thinking about it.
