Interesting.  Not something I'd considered.  Paul and I had been discussing
the problem the other day and I suggested it seemed to me like it was
gnome-panel because I also use Nautilus plugin scripts
(~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/) which include the attached script.  If I use
the right-click popup menu on the desktop and select "command_prompt_here"
from the "Scripts" submenu, the terminal appears on the correct screen
(either :0.0 or :0.1, depending on where the right-click menu started) so
I'd assumed the information provided by the X server was correct and
Nautilus was interpreting it properly (or at least not mangling it before
the script got hold of it).

I'm not sure what to make of your observation, though.  Maybe I want to go
back and re-evaluate what my Nautilus plugins are doing.
