Description Mamatha 2002-10-22 14:09:17 UTC 
I am running Sun's stable build 12 - (CVS snapshot date 'Tue Oct 15 
15:00:00 BST 2002').

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure a multihead server with two screens on left (scr0) and right
(scr1).
2. Invoke gnome-terminal in scr0 with geometry 45x45+45+45
3. Invoke gnome-terminal in scr1 with geometry 45x45+45+45.
Type xwininfo  and verify the geometry. (it shows geometry as 45x45+45+45 
on both screens)
4. Select 'Action->logout' and enable the 'Save session' check box.
Login again.
5. Type xwininfo and click on the terminal in first screen (scr0). It 
shows the geometry, correctly, as  - 45x45+45+45.
6. Type xwininfo and click on the terminal in second screen (scr1). It 
shows the geometry as  - 66x23+46+299!

this is probably related to the fact that metacity doesn't set DISPLAY
on child processes.  Bug 103575.
Comment 2 Rob Adams 2003-02-28 20:00:23 UTC 
oh wait.  I'm on crack.  Forget that.

This may well be a gnome-terminal bug as well; msm is useful for
debugging SM stuff since it has a better verbose mode than gnome-session.

Has this changed in later releases?
