I had the same problem (new windows placing on the wrond display if using multiple displays with Unity in Ubuntu 11.10).
First I installed the Compiz-Settings-manager [sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager]. In the Settings-manger, I checked the "Place Windows"-Plugin. There you will have all possible variations to fill you needs. BUT, to get it work correctly, I needed to enter in a shell: [export DISPLAY=:0]. And then it works until you reboot. Of course you can launch a script at startup that does this automatically. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
