Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Ubuntu Gutsy, gnome-terminal version: 2.18.2-0ubuntu1
I have dual screen (non xinerama) xorg setup (i810), so there is two separate displays, :0.0 and :0.1.
When I open new terminal from
1) Applications > Accessories > Terminal or
2) launcher from panel (type: Application, command: gnome-terminal) or
3) laucher from desktop (type: Application in Terminal, command: zsh)
DISPLAY is sometimes wrong: terminal opened on :0.0 gets DISPLAY=:0.1 and vice versa.
Usually when this starts to happen, it is hard to get it right again. Usually I have to close all terminals in both displays before terminal again gets right DISPLAY. When this starts to happen seems quite random, but is really annoying in dual screen x, where you can't move windows from one screen to another.
Maybe this bug is somehow related to gnome-panel bug, where Workspace Switcher gets attached to wrong display: Bug #110899.
