SUMMARY

I'm running two displays. The normal behavior for an X application is to start up on the screen that is active when it comes up. If I turn off "Remember window positions", then geeqie appears to do this. If I turn on "Remember window positions", it always comes up on one of the two screens. Even if I move the window to a different screen, it will come up in that first screen the next time. Note that I have "Use saved window positions for new windows" disabled in both cases.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Start geeqie from screen 2
2. Window pops up in screen 1
3. Move the window to screen 2
4. Close geeqie
5. Start geeqie again, also from screen 2
6. Observe that it comes up in screen 1 again

Note that this is not a recent regression.

Thanks

I don't see this behaviour. After closing geeqie, open $HOME/.config/geeqie/geeqie.xml, and look in the <layout section for the entries main_window.x and main_window.y. These determine where geeqie will open next time.
