[Bug] Since v2.3.0, tiling area margin only applies to primary monitor

[KaKi87]

Which means that windows on my secondary monitors are covered by my taskbar.

Thanks

Actually the edge_margin property is intended to be used to "unhide" desktop information's (e.g. conky infographics), which are generally only rendered on the primary screen.

Static taskbars on primary and/or/across secondary screens should be recognized and factored into the internal desktop dimension calculation, without the need to use edge_margin .
Please provide screenshots, run cortile with cortile -v and check the first view log outputs for differences in "Screens" (full monitor) and "Desktop" (tiling area) dimensions.

provide screenshots

On both versions, windows are positioned in disregard of the taskbar on every monitor when not using edge_margin :

run cortile with cortile -v

Here's v2.2 :

For some reasons the panel auto-detection doesn't seem to work under Mutter.

They are now two config entries, edge_margin and edge_margin_primary with the latest release. This should give everyone the desired flexibility. Feel free to reopen if you encounter any other problems.

Don't you intend to fix it ?
