I have also upgraded to Gnome-2.6 from scratch and my windows are still
keept on the screen where they start. 
Maybe you are using the xinerama feature of X where n monitors becomes
one.

I guess you should disable the use of xinerama.

A quick google gave me something like this for the XF86Config or
xorg.conf file:

Section "ServerFlags"
  Option "Xinerama" "true"

Hope it helps
