Starting the Linux Standalone Windowed with a Custom Resolution
The goal is to run our Linux standalone on a Ubuntu platform with two 1024x768 monitors, centered at the border between them with the desktop shared, such that half of the window takes up all of each monitor.
Doing this in Windows, it worked by having the app set the resolution to 2048x768 windowed. In LInux, it seems to insist on maximizing it on the first monitor, in which state it ignores calls to Screen.SetResolution from the app.
Thus the only way we've gotten it to stretch is to hold in ALT while dragging the window down, un-maximizing it so you can see the title bar, after which the in-game call has an effect. This is the case whether we select a small resolution like 640x480 with "Windowed" checked in the resolution dialogue (in which case it flashes as a small window for a split second before maximizing), or by setting the default resolution to either 640x480, 1024x768 or 2048x768 as the Default Resolution in Player Settings.
Here's the Player.Log output on startup:
