[Chauncellor <957786@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Definitely a compiz bug. Using Nouveau and tested on Unity2D and gnome-
shell, both of which do not use compiz.

There are certain windows that always open in the second monitor, many
of which can be seen in this video: open/save dialogues, images (via Eye
of Gnome), and the system settings (not pictured). Others, such as new
terminals, videos (via totem), and new text documents open in the
focused monitor. This is a small sample portion of windows opening on
other screens.

** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Description changed:

  I have 1 monitor and an LCD TV arranged in as a dual monitor setup with an nvidia card.
  Ubuntu's display preferences doesn’t recognise the monitors, so I have to use Nvidia settings.
  
  The system works but with unity 3d windows keep poping in the monitor
  I'm not using. It's silly. Because I only turn on the TV when I want to
  see video, I can't use the system unless I have the other monitor on.
  
  Because this is impractical I switched to Unity 2D were this behaviour
  doesn't happen.
  
  Unity 3D should to open windows in the monitor with the focus, or at least give that choice.
  This behavior also hapens in Ubuntu 11.10.
