Ok, I can confirm that.

I have had similar problems before, and tried to submit some patches
to get it fixed. I'm not sure if they really made it in though,
because it wasn't clear at that point whether this is an xfce or a gtk
bug. I didn't have time to look into the gtk sources, unfortunately...

I guess an indication that it's a gtk bug could be that when I try to
launch the web browser from pidgin (on my second screen), it appear on
my first screen.

But it's great that I've found a second xfce user who uses this
(unfortunately uncommon) dual screen setup, so I might use that as
encouragement to look into the issue again at some point (might be a
little while though).
