Gallery version (not just "2"):2-1.3.0
Operating system (e.g. Linux):Windows Vista / XP

I have 2 screens connected to my client machine and would love to have the remote screensaver working properly in such configuration...
currently, the pictures are split/centered between the 2 screens, and so it doesn't look very appealing...
Desired behavior would be to just use one screen for the screen saver (while the other one remains black), or alternating between screens...

Cheers!

PS: tks for creating gallery, we use it for our one year old twin girls pictures so the rest of the family can track their progress from across the atlantic... it works great!

Can't help you with the Gallery Remote Screen Saver, but my GLoSS screensaver provides exactly that sort of control over multiple monitor display.

You can find out more in the Gallery doco at http://codex.gallery2.org/GLoSS or on my website below where you can download it if you're interested.

I use Gallery for exactly the same reasons you do, namely keeping my overseas family up to date with my children here.
