I really don't mind, so long as it is no bigger than one of the
screens, which is what seems to crash the VC (no chance of filing a bug
report with them and getting action, so that you for looking)

As I have a graphic tablet there is a command that maps the mouse to a
screen, and the below moves it to the next screen

xsetwacom set "Wacom Intuos3 6x8 Pen stylus" MapToOutput next

It has slightly strange behaviour of having 3 next positions; screen 1,
screen 2 and both as a single screen. I assume the command is getting
that information from somewhere in the system, it appears that xtherion
is getting the 'both as a single screen' info and using that for size
then placing it centre of one of the screens. I have no way to test the
theory

xrandr gives

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 3840 x 1200, maximum 16384 x 16384

   1600x1200     60.00
   1280x1024     75.02    60.02
   1280x720      60.00    59.94    50.00

   1024x768      75.03    60.00
   800x600       75.00    60.32
   720x576       50.00
   720x480       59.94
   640x480       75.00    59.94    59.93

my machine only has a DVI and DP port, so no idea why it is showing two
of each

If I am reading this correctly

Screen 0 is the size of both screens

DVI-I-1 gets primary status with a resolution of 1920x1200 offset by
1920 and 0

DP-1 resolution of 1920x1200 offset by 0 and 0

which matches what I see, don't know if that helps!

Aven is fine, as are all other programs I use, no idea why xtherion
behaves as it does.
