Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.14.3-1
Severity: important

On a dual monitor system (nvidia geforce 6600 with twinview) windows
open on the wrong monitor.  I.E. mouse is on left monitor but windows
appear on right monitor.    This is a serious problem because the second
monitor is often switched to a second computer though it would seriously
affect usability even if both monitors were on.
