Same here, with identical monitors at identical resolutions.  The only
difference is that one is using a DVI-VGA adapter.  I see this whenever
I open LibreOffice.  The splash screen comes up on the secondary monitor
and the application comes up on the primary.  Using an ATI Radeon HD
5750.  I tried modifying settings in compiz but no effect.  Using 14.04
LTS.  Same problem as in 12.04 LTS.  Other applications will load on the
primary but open dialogs on the secondary.

Title:
  Multimonitor: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin
  settings silently ignored

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I have a dual monitor setup (each side by side), one desktop and a
  virtual size of 2x5. There are several strange things happening:

  When I'm in the top left virtual desktop, focus in the left monitor,
  and open up evolution it is either displayed in the same virtual
  desktop but on the other monitor and gets focus or it is displayed on
  one desktop further to the right, there in the right monitor, and it
  does not have focus.

  This leads to the situation where I am on a specific desktop, launch
  an application and this application shows up on another desktop
  without focus and without me knowing where it is. In addition,
  klicking on the evolution icon in the launcher does _not_ jump to the
  open window but does nothing at all. After changing the desktop via
  <Ctrl><Alt>Arrow or invoking <Super_L>S clicking on the icon works as
  expected.

  At least for me, this is a severe restriction to my workflow. I'll be
  happy to privde any information neede, please feel free to ask!
