Public bug reported:

Affects: metacity (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed


Description:
Binary package hint: metacity

Setup:
Dapper (most current updates)
Multiple dual-head laptops with ATI internal graphics using radeon driver.
The primary head is the laptop screen.  The secondary head is the LCD monitor.  The CRT2 is set to the Rightof the primary display.  When I drap an Impress window over to the second display to the right and try to start a presenation, the presentation insists on opening in the primary display (the laptop screen).

If I remove metacity and use xfwm4 this behavior completely disappears,
but I lose a lot of functionality.  For instance, I can no longer click
on the window in the window-list and choose to move it.  If metacity
properly observed "open this window beneath the mouse" behaivor then
this wouldn't be a problem.  Is there any way to fix metacity yet for
dapper?
