    I have tested on different distributions and the parallels client, although it works, it only works well on the primary monitor or when using both monitors for the session. When i try to move the window in the secondary monitor, I am missing parts of the screen since the resolution does not change automatically to the secondary monitor's resolution. Any ideas how to fix this? Parallels client connection settings are not offering the possibility to change resolution to custom. This wouldn't be much of a problem if i could just put the client on a separate workspace on the primary monitor, but then the linux keyboard shortcuts do not work when focused to the client. This would also not be a problem if the client allowed to run in window mode but I also haven;'t a solution for that. Is there ANY workaround?

    Yeah, I've run into similar issues -- Parallels client seems pretty rigid with display handling. One workaround that helped me a bit was forcing a custom resolution via xrandr and launching the client in a fixed-size window on the primary screen. Not ideal, but at least keeps things usable.
