Are you using Xinerama or not? If not, then it is handled by the program
and needs implementation there. The only program that actualy does that is
(as far as I know) GIMP. You can go to View, Move to Screen and select the
Screen :0.0, Screen :0.1 and so on.

As far as I know there is no way to move programs from e.g. DISPLAY=:0.0
to DISPLAY=:0.1 once the program is running, except when the program (like
GIMP) does this for you.

If you do not use Xinerame (e.g. you can already drag from monitor 1 to
monitor 2) then the solution might be found on

and

Another way might be to use wmctrl.

Don't be afraid when people say Xubuntu. It is just XFCE where it works. I
run openSUSE and there it works as expected.
