Description Jeroen Hoek 2004-02-16 21:41:37 UTC 
When opening new spatial Nautilus windows on a multi monitor setup,
metacity places the windows whereever there is space even if it is on
another monitor. This is very inconveniant and takes the advantage of
spatial browsing away.

Can/should this be fixed in Nautilus or is Metacity configurable to only
open new windows on the screen the mousepointer is at the moment?
Comment 1 Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-15 23:18:20 UTC 
is that still an issue?
Comment 2 Christian Neumair 2006-02-26 08:22:57 UTC 
No feedback, setting to NEEDINFO.
Comment 3 Olav Vitters 2006-07-03 12:42:12 UTC 
There is a metacity bug about this. Duping.
