I found and built a 'simple' "Hello World" application from http://www.paulgriffiths.net/program/c/srcs/helloxsrc.html
and adapted it to report the screen number obtained and used with: screen_num = DefaultScreen(display); ... XCreateSimpleWindow(display, RootWindow(display, screen_num), ... and ran it from gnome-terminal's on both screens. It works correctly and reports the correct screen for each. I'm wondering if the issue is in the Gnome libraries since the programs that have a problem with starting on the wrong screen all seem to be gnome/gtk/gdk specific. For example, VLC will start on the correct screen (it uses qt4). -- Multiple X screens launch apps on screen 0 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/336721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
