Position 'X' and 'Y' have too low possible maximum values

[echteFerux]

The position of the Rhythmbox Destkop Art plugin can be changed by pressing Alt + moving around the Art, but the new location is not saved. In order to do so, I need to adapt the settings using either Gconf or the preferences. (like you already noticed, there's a bug when editing these preferences too much).

However, when using multiple screens, the maximum of 1000 pixels as Y component is too low when using multiple screens and stacking the screens on top of each other. The X-component might have the same issue when putitng the screens next to each other.

System: Ubuntu 14.04 x64 Unity

I'll have a look at the Alt issue sometime - but not immediately - I'm working on another plugin at the moment so I dont have alot of time to devote to this :(

For the multiple screens issue - I dont have multiple screens so I cannot examine what the issue is - sorry.

If you know a bit of python, feel free to dig around and let me know - throw me a pull request etc.

I understand and I'm already very happy that issue #3 was solved :-)
Thanks for your work. I'm currently learning how to program with Python 3, but it may still take a while...

A bit late but the workaround for me (I have a triple monitor setup and want the desktop art to be on the 3rd monitor) is to open up gconf-editor and go to /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/desktop-art and change the values from there.
However when you open the config menu on the plugin it resets the values to the max allowed ones but that is expected.

I am not sure if this fits here perfectly but when I change the size or x and y positions with the buttons more than two times, Rhythmbox crashes and I get the following.

here is a backtrace
