Comment 2 for bug 1226486

I have the contrary problem - one AppMenu drawer in particular (Utilities) always opens on the secondary monitor (with no launcher). Since this is often turned off, it makes the drawer a little useless.

The secondary monitor is older, lower resolution and uses a VGA connector; the primary monitor uses DVI. Perhaps due to some remnant code somewhere, even though it’s set as secondary the VGA connection often gets listed first. During login I get a weird momentary wallpaper swap (same background in the greeter & desktop) where the image scaled to the secondary monitor appears at the left of the primary monitor with the larger resolution image to its right (opposite of the monitors’ physical layout). This suggests to me that at some low level the VGA connection is still somehow ‘first’. This also has no relation to how the cables are physically connected to the video card.

It would make sense for drawers to appear on the same viewport as the launcher they launched from if that’s possible.
