Title:
  [multi-monitor] new maximised window for screen 2 is automatically
  moved to screen 1

Status in Unity 2D:
  Confirmed
Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm using 2 screens, first is laptop (1280x800), second is external
  monitor (1440x900). Laptop screen is left and primary.

  Steps to repro:
  1. Open terminal and move it to screen 2
  2. Run "gedit"
  3. Gedit window should appear on screen 2.
  4. Maximise gdit window.
  5. Close gedit window.
  6. In Terminal, run "gedit" again

  Expected result:
  Gedit opens maximised on screen 2

  Actual result:
  Gedit opens maximised on screen 1. You can see a flash of gedit on screen 2 before it appears on screen 1.

  If you unmimimise the gedit window on screen 1, it jumps back to
  screen 2.

  
  Note:
  Metacity is patched to make almost-fullscreen application windows change to fullscreen. This is possible culprit
