is this bug still being looked at in Natty Narwhal? I get this same behavior with Ubuntu 11.04/Gnome 2.32.1/NVIDIA driver 280.13/Compiz 0.9.4.0 on a 7600 GT AGP card.

No matter if I start it from a gnome panel on either monitor, or via Alt-F2, or from a console. The main window does actually get created on the virtual screen where the mouse pointer is. But after 1/10 of a second it invariably gets moved to the left screen. If I leave the main window unmaximized before closing it, the next time I start gedit , it will start on the correct screen. Perhaps related to this: I've initially seen this on Firefox, so I tried the mozilla.org 3.0b5 linux binary and got the same behaivour. But if I try with Firefox 2.0.0.14 from mozilla.org, the window gets created on the correct screen when starting maximized. Unfortunately as soon as I click anywhere on the window, it jumps to the left screen. Tested with (fresh ubuntu 8.04 install): - firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3 - gedit 2.22.1-0ubuntu1 - metacity 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu4 - nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.12-16.34 - xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/metacity/+bug/224845/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
