Public bug reported:
Gnome fullscreen window placement does not work with dual monitor setup
in Ubuntu 8.04. I have vga- and dvi-monitor connected and dvi-monitor is
my main monitor. Everything worked in Ubuntu 7.10.
Now with 8.04 if I open anything that goes straight to fullscreen mode,
the new opened window starts in the main screen but jumps immediately to
the secondary vga screen. I can drag it back to the main screen but
after I close it and open it again the same thing happens. This happens
with nvidia-binary and xinerama but also with intel and Xrandr setup.
The issue might be that my secondary screen is left of main screen and
therefore virtual screens cordinates x0 y0 remains in the secondary
screen. If I change my setup in a way that my secondary screen is right
of the main screen the windows jump in the main screen. Even so the
correct behavior would be that the windows stay in there where they are
opened. If a user wants them to somewhere else then he/she can drag them
afterwards.
