As of today with all the updates on 12.04 amd64 with AMD/ATI H2600xt with galium3d, I was able to "partly" fix this strange Window focus / popup behaviour under the following conditions:
It only works on windows that original(or after alterning) have a smaller "vertical" and or "horizontal" resolution than the smallest screen resolution you use in your multimontior setup(otherwise it defaults to the largest screen another spread bug 919139) and you need to edit the following parameter in ccsm(compiz-config-settingsmanager) therefor it will also place new windows on the screen on which the pointer exist(that pointer option also works right now)! CCSM>General>Display Settings: Overlapping Output handling=Prefer smaller output After this option the "Place Window" plugin finally listens to further settings. CCSM>Place Windows>General: Placement mode=centered (just in case) Multi output mode=Use output device with pointer After this all popup / new (dialog) windows/applications like chromiumbrowser>printing, or Openoffice>PDF output>nautiluspopup come on the screen where the pointer is postitioned. This makes it finnaly usable! !!!But still if a program like Blender opens it default jumps to the biggest screen, since it opening state is the resolution of both of the multimonitor screens together!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/930660 Title: with multiple monitors, applications appear on the wrong monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/930660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
