You have been subscribed to a public bug: My system is using NVidia's separate X-screen instead of TwinView. If I click Places->Home Folder in the 2nd screen it opens in the first screen. This is 100% reproducible.
Same behaviour observed if running DISPLAY=:0.1 nautilus --browser or if running from Alt-F2 However, for gnome-terminal, running from the menus opens it in the wrong (first) screen, but running DISPLAY=:0.1 gnome-terminal or running from Alt-F2 opens it in the correct (2nd) screen. Firefox/thunderbird open properly in the 2nd screen in all cases. Compiz-config settings manager has same behaviour as gnome-terminal. Problem seems to be non-app specific. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1089578 shows another user with the same problem. May be linked to the binary nvidia, am unable to test without since I'm not aware of any way to get separate X with nv or mesa.
