I am having some trouble with Houdini on my duel screen setup.
When I open Houdini using -span flag the statusbar is hidden behind the taskbar. Even when I have the taskbar autohide the statusbar is half hidden.
I have a Desktop designed for use with the -span flag that I call Span, I open Houdini using, “hmaster.exe -span -s Span”
For the most part I have no troubles using Houdini but there are times when all I get is a segmentation fault that I can only fix by deleting and recreating the Span Desktop.

I use another Houdini icon to open a non span version of Houdin in order to make these corrections. otherwise I would get very frustrated.
