I had a conversation with one of the upstream authors about this and the behaviour seems to be: 2008-06-21 17:10 <Mikachu> afaics from the code, it'll use the screen with the active window, and if no windows are active, the one with the cursor > Shouldnt be like it, i often have the mouse moved way out of any area a > window can reach, as I just dont need it.

Especially if you search for a specific desktop and you have to switch your eyes from one monitor to the other this is bad. I opened a bug in the upstream bugzilla for this, see: http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3694 (also including our query).
