Since xfrun4 is a DBus service it probably depends how it is first started since it will inherit the DISPLAY environment variable from its parent (xfsettingsd, xfce4-panel, or xfdesktop respectively) and open on that screen for all subsequent calls. There is an upstream bug open about this and it will likely be a problem with other applications as well. It might be a better idea to use a setup with a single screen spanning multiple monitors configured via xrandr since that is much better supported. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In order to work around that you could try to edit the menu with alacarte and modify the "Run Program..." entry to call "xfce4-appfinder --collapsed --replace" so each time a fresh instance is started with the xfce4-appfinder ending up on the same display as the menu. You can also create new entries or launchers on the panel explicitly specifying the display, e.g. with "xfce4-appfinder --collapsed --replace --display=:0.1". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is now the second time that I have failed to receive an email alert to a bug reply. I do not see "Run Program" in alacarte, it must be a built in function. When I use "Run Program" it is for a one time I need this program on this monitor today. The program is not in the menu system, and not used often enough to put it in. The only work around is to launch a terminal then run the program. This defeats the purpose of the "Run Program".

I do not see "Run Program" in alacarte, it must be a built in function.
No, it's just that alacarte does not seem to show top-level menu items. You can do it manually from a shell: $ mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications $ sed 's|^Exec=.*|Exec=xfce4-appfinder --collapsed --replace|' /usr/share/applications/xfce4-run.desktop > ~/.local/share/applications/xfce4-run.desktop
When I use "Run Program" it is for a one time I need this program on this monitor today. The program is not in the menu system, and not used often enough to put it in. The only work around is to launch a terminal then run the program. This defeats the purpose of the "Run Program".
The above should be a reasonable workaround and there is not really much more I can do on the openSUSE side. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
