Hi,

I have EdgeSwitch enabled in my IceWM configuration, to be able to move
from one virtual desktop to another by moving the mouse to the edge of
the screen.

However, when the size of the screen is altered (for instance because I
connect an external monitor to my laptop and that one has a different
resolution), the position where this edge switching occurs is not
updated. As such, when I move my mouse to the right edge of the screen,
nothing happens; and when I move it to where the right edge of the
screen used to be (for instance at the 1280th horizontal pixel when the
screen has now been resized to 1920 pixels horizontally), the edge
switching does occur.

The only remedy to that seems to be to restart IceWM, which is
suboptimal.
