When my mouse cursor is inside the smaller of the two monitors, moving the mouse up or down will not switch workspaces. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set up xinerama with two different sized monitors (set "clone" to "off") 2. set up your workspaces into a 2d matrix (I use a 4x4 configuration) 3. put your mouse into the smaller monitor 4. try to switch workspaces by moving the mouse up, or down. Actual Results: For me, I cannot switch workspaces in this way when my mouse is in the smaller monitor. It works fine in the bigger monitor, or when moving side to side. Expected Results: It should switch to the next workspace
Created attachment 1186 My xorg.conf My xorg.conf, which shows how I set up xinerama
Oops. I guess I lied. It actually works fine going up, but not down. The problem seems to relate to the bottom of the smaller screen not being at the same level as the bottom of the larger screen. It seems like if it were somehow possible to get my pointer down a couple of inches below the screen, it would probably switch the workspace for me.

In Xinerama, there is one logical screen for several physical displays, and in your case of different sizes. It means that the mouse pointer cannot reach the sideband window in the smaller screen.
