that said, I don't think this will be fixed in Unity ** Changed in: unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix

By this I mean that: - Desktop icons appear only on the left monitor - An opened app (eg libreoffice writer) is opened on the left screen, even if I launch it via the launcher on the right monitor The current configuration can be seen at http://i286.photobucket.com/albums/ll86/wild_oscar/Screenshotfrom2015-02-24100853.png The .config/monitors.xml file is shown below. Notice that the HDMI display (green in the photo) is set as <primary>yes</primary>. Nevertheless, this seems to be ignored - the behaviour is the one mentioned above (desktop icons on the left and writer opening on the left) . <monitors version="1"> <configuration> <clone>no</clone> <output name="VGA1"> <vendor>GSM</vendor> <product>0x4b7a</product> <serial>0x0000b13b</serial> <width>1440</width> <height>900</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>0</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>normal</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>no</primary> </output> <output name="HDMI1"> </output> <output name="HDMI2"> <vendor>GSM</vendor> <product>0x5a26</product> <serial>0x0008976f</serial> <width>1920</width> <height>1080</height> <rate>60</rate> <x>1440</x> <y>0</y> <rotation>normal</rotation> <reflect_x>no</reflect_x> <reflect_y>no</reflect_y> <primary>yes</primary> </output> <output name="VIRTUAL1"> </output> </configuration> </monitors> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1425000/+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
