Description Sean Carolan 2005-03-24 16:21:30 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

Description of problem:
I have a dual monitor setup with two separate desktops.  When a program needs to open a dialog box it always comes up on the default monitor, instead of the same monitor that the program is running on.

KDE has this feature, and since GNOME is the better desktop environment I think we should have it too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Set up dual monitors with separate desktops
2.  Open a program such as the force quit applet, try to force an app to quit
3.  Behold as the notification box appears on the OTHER monitor than the one you are currently using. 
  

Actual Results:  Dialog box appears on wrong monitor.

Expected Results:  Should appear on same monitor.

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the
issue if it is still present.  Since there haven't been any
updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've
requested additional information, we're assuming the problem
is either no longer present in our current OS release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.

Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking
the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem,
please feel free to provide the information requested above,
and reopen the report.

Thank you in advance.
