Description Tobias Domhan 2008-10-13 19:18:31 UTC

Please describe the problem:
== Regression details ==
Discovered in version:2.24.0
Last known good version:2.22.0

I am using 2 monitors that are on 2 different x screens, without Xinerama.

When I click on the gnome-mixer(on the second screen), the opening bar, that allows to adjust the sound level, is shown beneath the gnome panel on the first screen. this wasn't the case back in gnome 2.22

the menu items "Preferences" and "about" open windows on the wrong screen, too. though this is a bug that existed in gnome 2.22, too. nevertheless it is a bug.


kernel: 2.6.27-4-generic
Ubuntu: Intrepid(8.10)
gnome-panel:2.24.0
Gnome: 2.24.0
my video driver is:
nvidia-glx-173:
  Installed: 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 173.14.12-1-0ubuntu3

Steps to reproduce:
1. use 2 different xscreens
2. click on the mixer applet or open "Preferences


Actual results:
windows are being opened in the wrong screen.

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yes

I see this bug in 2.22 in Debian Testing ('preferences' dialog always appears on screen 0, although 'open volume control' correctly appears on the screen it was launched on). Please see Debian bug #493019 :

    Mixer applet dock not multihead aware
    
    Fixes bug : http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583452.
    Mixer applet dock always displays on screen 0 of multihead
    display.


It got backported to 2.26. Could you check either 2.26 or 2.28 and tell me if it really is fixed.

Comment 7 Leszek Koltunski 2009-10-15 07:27:08 UTC

Ok, 2.28.1 indeed has this one fixed.

Comment 8 Tobias Mueller 2010-03-24 14:51:52 UTC

Closing as FIXED as per last comment.
