The case I was thinking of was: - Start an application using a keyboard shortcut (I tend to use meta-[qwert] for menu, web browser, nautilus, run dialog and terminal) - Hit the key combo again because you didn't see the terminal window popping up on my secondary monitor. Now I end up with two terminals windows :( So, the question is: What to do with new windows that don't have a parent window? I think we have two choices: 1. Same monitor as the mouse pointer 2. Same monitor as the current activated window I think option 2 is the best choice. If no window was active, metacity could use option 1. mvrgr, Wouter -- :wq mail uws xs4all nl please don't bother trying to find her :: she's not there -- zombies
