Linux Mint Forums

Hello,

I've installed linux mint 13 xfce, and I'm having 2 problems:

1. only vertical edge tiling works (top and bottom tiling), horizontal tiling doesn't work (nothing happens when I drag a window to the left or right)
2. XFCE usually has the ability to resize windows when pressing ALT and doing a right-click drag with the mouse. This doesn't work in mint 13 xfce.

I've been looking through all the settings and couldn't find anything related. Are these known issues?

Well I found the solution to both problems.

1. disable "Wrap workspaces when dragging a window off the screen" in "Settings -> Window Manager -> Advanced" makes vertical tiling work
2. I'm running the mint 13 xfce guest in virtualbox in a mint 13 cinnamon host. Pressing alt activates window resizing in the host and cancels out the alt-drag shortcut in the guest. When running the same guest in a windows XP host, alt-dragging works fine. Changing the key from alt to ctrl in the guest makes it possible to ctrl-drag in the guest

Nice Thank you

But can you please tell - _where_ to change it from alt to ctrl or win-key? I remember i've seen this option in Mate, but can't find it in Cinnamon.

Then ask your question in a cinnamon thread, and not in Xfce :p
