 If you start an X program, its window will pop up in the screen that was
 active at that time. This works for all programs except for firefox. The
 Firefox window will always pop up in the first virtual screen. I can then
 move it wherever I desire, so that's just an inconvenience, but its a clear
 regression to the behaviour before I upgraded to 6.1.

sounds like a session manager saved firefox on this desktop... not sure which
one would do it when you start it up (usually they restore programs on
startup...)

again, i could be completely wrong :D

Re: firefox starts up always in the first virtual screen in XFCE

Hi,

your comment rang a bell. The Firefox window was apparently maximized
when I upgraded the box. Firefox remembers the previous window size,
and it seems like the (updated) XFCE window manager now thinks that
the (updated) Firefox window is too big, and displays it on virtual
screen 1 as a fallback strategy. I resized the window a little, closed
Firefox, and opened it again - now it will open on the very screen
which happens to be active.

Problem solved. Poster embarrassed. Thanks a lot.

regards,
Markus
