Re: Windows opening on wrong screen
Maybe one if the XCB "request" move it somewhere else. I am not sure
of that as I can't reproduce the issue (I have 5 screens, but with
Xineramma). You can try with Tyrannical (
https://github.com/Elv13/tyrannical ) as it disable some of those, I
am not sure. You can use the sample rc.lua to test using the Awesome
"-c" option. Some of the x property request are handled in strange
way. It may be while you have this bug. Without further debugging, I
can't tell. Tyrannical try to turn off some of those size/tag/position
request and replace them with its own, this is why there is a slim
chance it will bypass the bug.

Hi again.
I tried this:
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "i", function ()
naughty.notify({text=mouse.screen}) end),
and it worked as expected. I.e. it shows the correct screen the mouse
is currently on as a number in the top right of my primary screen.
However, I looked a little bit deeper into the issue. Correct me if I am
wrong, but for the "start-terminal" (and probably all others) case the
final function called is spawn(...) in the file spawn.c!?
If this is the case, then awesome must be doing some unusual stuff.
I wrote the attached very simple test program.
Compilable with
gcc spawner.c -o spawner $(pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0)
This program opens a terminal on the screen the mouse is currently on
(it does this so by itself by calling g_spawn_async, no thanks to me) in
the same way (I think!) as awesome does.
This works for fluxbox, gnome, kde and xfce on all my three screens.
in awesome it works on the center and the left screen but not on the
right screen. I infer from this, that the problem has nothing (or
something very weird) to do with my setup.
I don't know what to do without diving into the code of glib, which I'd
like to avoid.
Any ideas?

RE: Windows opening on wrong screen
Hi Andre, I also had a lot of trouble getting my system just right. I did lots of playing with xorg.conf and with two screens from the built in graphics controller of my CPU and this is my final config (two monitors but just one screen)...

Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080" Option "RightOf" "HDMI2" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "HDMI2" VendorName "BenQ" ModelName "?"

Hi.
Thanks for the fast reply. I wasn't aware that Debian unstable was so
far behind.
I am on Debian unstable amd64.
I don't know if it matters heres my Kernel version:
Linux Buzz 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) x86_64
GNU/Linux
I switched to the version of awesome in the experimental repos, which is
3.5.5, but the issue persists.
Attached is my xorg.conf, I am using the open source radeon drivers.
Also attached my rc.lua, which has very few changes from the debian (and
i suppose upstream) one. I just changed the theme, which I copied from
the one installed and only changed the background image. The second
thing I changed is the default layout from layouts[1] to layouts[2],
which is awful.layout.suit.tile.
My xorg version is 7.7 ... I am basically "up-to-date" on Debian unstable.
And for completeness heres my xrandr output:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 6400 x 1440, maximum 16384 x 16384

I played around with the order of the screens and put the left to the
right and vice versa. But that did not change anything. If I can try
anything else, let me know.
Thanks in advance for looking into this. I really appreciate it.

Re: Windows opening on wrong screen
Hello Andre, The current version of Awesome is 3.5.5. I cannot reproduce the issue there. The 3.4 version is not really supported anymore. You might want to try to upgrade. Please note that your config will need to be ported. The easiest way is to copy the new rc.lua then backport any changes you might have. If you can still reproduce the problem, please give more details about your drivers, distribution and, if applicable, xorg.conf.
