[OT] Window placement with multi-head

[Marius Groeger]

Hello,

this rather an ignorant question to the experts: when running a large 
framebuffer across multiple heads using MergedFB or xrandr1.2, how do 
applications decide where to open windows? Quite often I'm observing 
the effect that an application running on one screen opens a simple 
dialog on the other one, which obviously is quite confusing. Just out 
of curiosity: how's to blame for that? Can there be anything done 
about this?

Sorry if this is too much off-topic...

Regards,
Marius
