Applications launching on wrong screen.

batman1978 · 2017-12-11 13:43:27

I am using Debian 9
xfce4 version is 4.12

I have 2 screens setup.

I am using separate xserver for each screen.

When I launch xfce4-terminal from screen2 it launches on screen1.

thunar is launching correctly

Can someone point me to the correct configuration to fix this behavior?

Thanks

Hello and welcome.

Try launching xfce4-terminal without registering with the dbus session message bus:

xfce4-terminal --disable-server

This worked.

I am looking into how to default this from registering with dbus session I guess.

I don't see a configuration option to do this.

You could create an alias to start xfce4-terminal in this manner. Something like:

alias xfterm='xfce4-terminal --disable-server

...or create an override as /usr/local/bin/xfce4-terminal with the content:

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/xfce4-terminal --disable-server

...and make the file executable.
