Dual Screen in 8.10

[underdog512]

I have boxee installed on my 8.10 box. Everything is working fine accept this.

I have dual monitors configured and when I launch boxee it takes up one whole screen leaving the desktop exposed on the other screen which is what want happen but boxee will not allow mouse cursor to go to the other screen.

Is there way to get it to do this?

Remember, you can also hit the TAB key, which toggles boxee between full screen and windowed. The latter mode gives you your mouse back.

the problem on a dual-head is that you can't use the other monitor while boxee is fullscreened.

ie: right now, i'm listening to a podcast while typing this... boxee is fullscreen playing a slideshow from a recent trip to disney.
