Description Vincent Untz 2008-06-06 00:20:50 UTC 
I think we need to add a screen parameter to some of the dbus API -- at least logout and shutdown, since it will display a dialog and we want this dialog to be displayed on the screen where the user clicked on a button.

Also, we might need to add a time parameter to help with focus stealing prevention.

You should just present the dialog on the monitor containing the pointer.

I just stumbled across this bug. To me it looks like it can be closed, the solution suggested by Matthias seems to be the right one and has probably long since been implemented. Can anyone confirm. In the unlikely case that this is still a valid requirement we should probably bump the version tag to 3.x
