           Summary: apps launched from xfce might appear on the wrong screen
           Product: Xfce
           Version: 4.4.1
          Platform: PC (x86)
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: Medium
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: xfce-bugs at xfce.org
        ReportedBy: bugs at da.mcbf.net


User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.8)
Gecko/20071004 Iceweasel/2.0.0.8 (Debian-2.0.0.8-1)
Build Identifier: 

I run a dual monitor setup (not xinerama), so I have two X displays (first is
:0.0 and second is :0.1).

When I launch some applications on my second screen, the appear on my first
screen instead of on the second.

I say "might appear on the wrong screen" because I can't find a nice pattern on
when it will appear on the correct screen and when on the wrong one (see steps
to reproduce.

This is a regression, since 4.4.0 worked correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
 - open a pdf file in thunar with evince -> appears on the wrong screen
 - open a pdf file in thunar with acroread -> appears on right screen
 - open evince from xfdesktop -> appears on the right screen
 - open brasero from xfdesktop -> appears on the wrong screen
Actual Results:  
Sometimes the launched application appears on the correct X screen, sometimes
on the wrong one (see steps to reproduce)

Expected Results:  
The application should always appear on the second X screen when launched from
the second X screen.

Please contact me if I can help to debug this. I'd love to get this resolved.
Not having to have to go back to a terminal to launch applications is the whole
point of using xfce :-).
