[vox-tech] Tux Paint, Fullscreen, and dual monitors

[Darth Borehd]

If you configure the dual monitors through the Nvidia control panel, set
them for separate X screen logins, and then enable Xinerama, you get the
ability to move windows from one screen to the other.

Tuxpaint --fullscreen expands to fill one of the monitors, but not both.
