           Summary: New applications launch on 'wrong' screen when working
                    with multiple monitors
           Product: kwin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin kde org
        ReportedBy: jedd progsoc org


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The behaviour of kwin has changed since 3.5.6 (?).  

Previously new windows (including Alt-F2) would pop up on whatever screen the mouse was in.  This was nice.

Now new windows appear to pop up on whatever screen has the focussed window.  This isn't.

I can't find any existing bugs that match this specific problem, though I do see there are a few other issues (as you'd expect) with how multiple physical screens are handled.

I can't find any settings to change this behaviour.  I'm hoping it's not another item to add to the list of 'irritating minor changes made on my behalf without the option to adjust that setting'.  I've quoted 'wrong' in the short-desc as it denotes a change of default, and in the absence of a way to revert that change, that's a bug.

I'm using NVIDIA (tainting) drivers, one kwin, single task bar (middle screen).
