CrunchBang Linux

I recently returned to #! after a fiasco upgrading several work machines to Xubuntu 13.04, which consistently crashed xorg. I had really forgotten how much I love this distribution and I'm extremely happy to see that my reasons for leaving are no longer present (a few apt problems I had run into that conflicted with standard Debian packages).

Let's get to the meat of the problem I'm currently dealing with, though. I have a non-standard display setup (one single-head laptop, one dual-head laptop, one dual-head desktop) laid out like this:

On the desktop (vertically stacked screens) trying to fullscreen any window (double-click the title bar) on the TOP screen does not resize to the correct vertical resolution. It fills the screen horizontally, but drops down to ~500px in height. On the BOTTOM screen there's no problem whatsoever.

My synergy.conf (I have a suspicion that this could be a relevant factor here)

# Office Synergy configuration

section: screens
        4D09:
        hp-8560w:
end

section: links
        4D09:
                right(57,93)    = hp-8560w
        hp-8560w:
                left            = 4D09(57,93)
end

section: options
        heartbeat = 5000
end

My laptop screens are to the right of the lower screen (which spans roughly 57%-93% of the combined left screens)

My xrandr config is two 27" screens on top of each other (DVI-1 is the top screen, HDMI-0 is the lower screen)

xrandr --output DisplayPort-0 --off --output DVI-1 --mode 2560x1440 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal --output DVI-0 --off --output HDMI-0 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 640x1440 --rotate normal

Any help or advice would be much appreciated, it looks like I should be investigating either OpenBox or Xorg for this.

Please use thumbnails (please try to avoid the large thumbnail imgur.com code) linking to the larger image to help those of us with slow connections. An example of the code needed is below. Most image hosting sites will automatically generate this for you as well. Users have been using postimage.org lately which does a nice job.

At first glance, #! looked like it was just another generic Debian branch. I've been looking for the 'right' distribution for what I would consider a very very long time (since Debian Potato or thereabouts), but never had much luck. Either the default configuration was a little closer to what I wanted (IceWM on Debian worked pretty well) but wasn't as configurable as I needed, or the defaults were way out in left field (like KDE on Debian) and I would've spent months getting to a point where the distribution wasn't getting in my way all the time. I'm a huge fan of APT, and have only been disappointed and/or confused by other package managers' quirks.

After a day of using it and already having my configuration how I want it, I am absolutely hooked on CrunchBang. It's the best operating system I've ever dealt with, by a fair margin.
