[kwin] [Bug 406312] Set middle monitor as primary, new window still open on left monitor
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406312 --- Comment #7 from Martin Flöser --- If you want to check: xwininfo on the opened window. In most cases it has a user specified position which means by ICCCM that the window manager must honor it. If you as a user hasn't specified that position (e.g. last saved position) it's a bug in the application. If the application uses an application specified position the window manager is allowed to overwrite it and KWin does so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406312 --- Comment #6 from natrius+...@mailbox.org --- As it is the most common misunderstand there should be done something about this. I found more posts mentioning and what so ever in forums, reddit and somewhere else, basically everybody mentioning the same thing. A lot of people seem to think "primary" = "First time a window opens is on primary". So basically i have to look into why my windows do not open where my mouse is. It could be the program and it could be kwin, if i understand this correctly. But yes, put something like "Primary (This has no effect on the position of new windows)" or something like this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406312 --- Comment #4 from Martin Flöser --- Well, No. This is the most common misunderstanding of X11. Primary has no meaning for window managers. According to xrandr it's only an indicator for the desktop shell where to put panels. As it has no meaning for window managers KWin doesn't read the information at all. Instead KWin has the concept of active screen: windows open on the screen with the active window or mouse pointer depending on setting. And that makes more sense than a randomly configured screen. Unfortunately this hardly ever works as windows position themselves. So it's all mood anyway. What we could do is to explicitly write in the UI that primary has no meaning for window positioning. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
