Description Alfred Krohmer 2009-02-17 19:42:26 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I've got a dualview setup with two screens. If I start nautilus by clicking on a folder in "Places" in the panel's menu on the second screen, it will always open the new window on the. Same problem when starting it via key bindings.
Starting it by clicking on a folder on the desktop, by typing "nautilus" in the terminal or in the "Execute application" dialog (don't know if this is the correct translation, in German it's "Anwendung ausführen"), it starts on the current screen (in this case the second).

Steps to reproduce:
For testing i've replaced /usr/bin/nautilus by a script with the following contents:
#!/bin/bash

echo $DISPLAY >> /tmp/nautilus.log

After nautilus in the way that caused it to start on the first screen, the /tmp/nautilus now contained lines with :0.0, otherwise :0.1.

Actual results:


Expected results:
nautilus should start on the screen the mouse cursor is current on.

Does this happen every time?
It always happens.
