Dual Monitor and new Windows

Hi,

it's not a really big 'problem' I have, but sometimes it is somehow annoying:
I've set up 2 Monitors. One left, one right. The right contains the panel, desktop icons, toolbars of other progs etc, while I use the left one for the main progs.
So when I want to open a program (from the menu/starter of the panel on the right monitor) it opens on the monitor where my mousecursor is. Is it possible that a new window will always be opened on the left monitor or is it not?

Greetings

Re: Dual Monitor and new Windows

Ankalagon,

I'm brand new to Xfce so I can't say too much, but I have dual monitors and no problems. Are you using xinerama? It sounds like it. I have two distinct screens, each with its own panel and desktops, and things always open on the screen where the mouse is, since that's the active screen. But by having two panels, I can always make things open where I want.
