I can confirm this bug in 12.04. All modal dialogs from applications opened on my primary monitor open on secondary monitor, aligned to the left border.

[Bug 954292] Re: "Modal" dialogs do not appear as expected in multiple monitor setup
The solution can be to open the window where the mouse is located or where the parent application is located.

[Bug 954292] Re: "Modal" dialogs do not appear as expected in multiple monitor setup
I`m using 11.10. This problem applies not only to modal windows. F.e., the terminal window is created on the primary monitor, but the system settings window is always created on the secondary monitor. Just tried upgrading to the 12.04 beta - no changes. This behaviour simply makes multihead configuration useless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/954292 Title: "Modal" dialogs do not appear as expected in multiple monitor setup To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/954292/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Attachment added: "Step 4.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/954292/+attachment/2864524/+files/Step%204.png ** Description changed: This bug is easily reproducable. 1. Get a multiple monitor setup. 2. Attempt to shutdown the system using the indicators on the _first_ monitor. Observe confirmation dialog position. 3. Attempt to shutdown the system using the indicators on the _second_ monitor. Observe confirmation dialog position. 4. If more than two monitors are available, attempt to shutdown the system using the indicators on the subsequent monitors. Observe confirmation dialog position. Expected result: dialog always appears in the centre of a screen. Actual result: for secondary monitors, the dialog "hugs" the left side of the second monitor. This is also seen in other applications, for example Update Manager and Firefox. + With applications this can cause even bigger issues: with a third + monitor, the dialog appears on completely the wrong monitor!
