[Bug 856310] Re: (oneiric) update manager puts main window on one screen, progress window on another screen

[Steve Langasek]

update-manager certainly has no idea about the boundaries between
screens in the output (and architecturally, should not).  Maybe it can
be doing a better job of asking the window manager to place its progress
window nearby, but I'm guessing we need this to be handled by the window
manager itself (i.e., compiz).  Reassigning.

** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) => compiz (Ubuntu)

Title:
  (oneiric) update manager puts main window on one screen, progress
  window on another screen

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I am running Oneiric beta on a laptop with an external monitor. When I
  start update-manager, it is displayed on the laptop screen.  After
  initiating an update, the progress window is displayed in the middle
  of the other screen.  This is a confusing and unpleasant experience
  for the user.

  Expected behaviour? The progress window (and any other windows that
  are spawned from that app) should appear on the same screen as the
  main window for the app.
