[Solved] mousepad: how to get it to the screen I want.

Hi,

I'm trying mousepad as an alternative to the ever-more-dreadful gedit. I have dual monitors, and mousepad always pops up on the same one, regardless of the terminal from which it was launched.  I've tried '--display=:0.0' (with various numbers) and '--screen=0' (with various numbers) but nothing works. Wrong syntax?  What might work? mousepad is the only prog I have here that does this.

mousepad --disable-server :-)

I still can't get --device or --screen to do anything, but --disable-server at least opens mousepad over the terminal from which it was launched no matter where it is.  Nice little editor.
