Agreed -- unless someone knows that the same underlying problem is
creating these two completely different symptoms, but that sure isn't
captured in the text here....

I am seeing exactly what you see.  Panels are fine; located where they
should be, but applications launched from the :0.1 panel appear on
the screen :0.0 -- and since I'm not using twinview/xinerama, I can't
simply drag the app back to the proper screen.

This most recent duplicate classification sure seems incorrect to me.
