How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Obtain multiscreen setup with screens on left-right.
2. Press Alt+F2, type "gnome-control-center region" and press Enter key.
3. Go to "Layouts" tab.
4. Select some layout from the list and press the button with gear image below.
  
Actual results:
Preview window gets spanned over both screens.

Expected results:
Same as in one screen setup.

That's a bug libgnomekbd.
Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2011-04-13 21:42:03 UTC 
Currently, the preferred width of the window is 3/4 of the screen width. Will use the current monitor's parameters.

Committed. Using primary monitor. Please check.
Comment 6 Radek Lát 2011-05-04 12:47:06 UTC 
Checked on lastest commit from gnome GIT repository. Size is ok, but layout preview windows always appears on primary monitor (even when window with preferences is on other monitor). Is that correct behaviour? I checked other windows in gnome-control-center and they all launch new windows on current monitor, not primary.

Comment 8 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2011-05-04 20:03:48 UTC 
I am not sure how to obtain the "current" monitor. The preview is a separate application, independent of g-c-c. So I cannot even ask g-c-c which monitor to use...
Comment 9 Radek Lát 2011-05-05 09:20:40 UTC 
Wouldn't it be then possible to just spawn the window on the same monitor, where the cursor is present? I think a lot of other applications does it like that.

Radek, could you please check if that works for you?
