           Summary: Windows opened in a random xinerama screen
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: dualhead
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: razielmine gmail com


Version:           unknown (using 3.5.9, Arch Linux)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25-ARCH

I've configured a dualhead setup with xinerama and independent X screens on nvidia-settings. On the KDE desktop configuration, "show unmanaged windows on" is set to "display containing the pointer", but I've experienced the same problem with the "display 1" and "display 2" options as well.

Now, when I open any application, for example konqueror or firefox, they are randomly opened in one of the monitors, not always in the same monitor, or the monitor that contains the pointer.

This is quite annoying, specially because in one of the screens I use to have a fullscreen application, and applications opened in that screen are hidden behing that application, and I have to exit fullscreen mode, move the application I just opened to the other screen, and enter fullscreen mode again in the oter application.

This behaviour, I think, should follow the "show unmanaged windows" option, even if Ii don't really understand what "unmanaged windows" means.
