Public bug reported: There seems no way to run evince at multiple X screens at the same time.
Whenever one starts evince, the first instance will run on the specified screen (ether with environment variable DISPLAY or with --display option). But when launching a second instance it shows up on the screen of the first instance, regardless of display settings. To reproduce this, run on a multiscreen machine: evince --display :0.1 & evince --display :0.0 & which gives you two instances on the same display 0.1. While running two instances of evince on different X servers works perfectly. ** Affects: evince (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Evince cannot run at multiple X screens at same time https://launchpad.net/bugs/53864 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
