full-screen mode on Mac OS X - selecting which monitor to use?

Hey all,

I was very happy to see that when I recently upgrade to the most current gimp through ports on Mac OS X 10.6, I was able to successfully switch to fullscreen view - something I missed a lot from when I was working on Linux...

However, I'm running with two monitors, and the gimp always seems to select my primary monitor for full screen mode, even though I'd rather it be on the secondary monitor, since it's somewhat higher resolution, and then the X11 menu isn't stealing screen space.

However, in digging through the manual, the preferences and a bunch of googling around, I can't figure out how to move it onto my secondary monitor.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Warren

Shouldn't you be using a GIMP build that uses the native GTK+ Quartz back-end instead of using X11? That might even fix your problem.

If you use ports to build GIMP yourself, try to uninstall gtk2 and then 'port install gtk2 +quartz" before you build GIMP.
