Thanks for this hint. Compiz has an already build-in function to slide
windows to the other screen. But Mythfrontend is special because it
keeps the framesize of the original display. If you change the screen
inside of Mythfrontend's settings, the framesize automatically adopts
the size of the new screen.

I have played with the options under Setup|Appearance|ScreenSettings but
nothing seems to allow the window-manager of the OS to take over the
control of Mythfrontend's window-size.

Greetings,

Sven
