[Bug 362486] [NEW] Yakuake Ignores "Open On Screen" Option in XFCE

[LiquidRain]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: yakuake

OS: Xubuntu 9.04 (updated as of April 16th 2009)
Package:
yakuake:
  Installed: 2.9.4-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2.9.4-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2.9.4-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ubuntu.mirror.rafal.ca jaunty/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Problem:
Under a multi-monitor configuration, Yakuake under XFCE will open on the screen the mouse is active on instead of obeying Yakuake's "Open on screen" option.

To Reproduce:
1. Be in a multi-monitor configuration
2. Use XFCE as your WM
3. Set Yakuake to always open on screen 1
4. Make sure Yakuake is hidden/dormant
5. Move mouse cursor to screen 2
6. Press Yakuake activation key

Expected:
Yakuake should open on screen 1.

Result:
Yakuake opens on screen 2.  Opening the Yakuake preferences shows the "Open on screen" preference to still be set at "Screen 1."

Furthur problem reproduction steps:
7. Once the above bug is triggered, close/hide Yakuake (but do not exit)
8. Move mouse cursor to screen 1
9. Press Yakuake activation key

Expected behaviour:
Considering the behaviour seen in steps 1 through 6, Yakuake should open on Screen 1.

Result:
Yakuake opens again on screen 2.

Workaround:
Open the preferences.  "Open on screen" setting is still set to "Screen 1."  Simply click "OK" without changing any options and Yakuake will return to Screen 1 immediately.  The bug can then be reproduced again.

This is a regression from Ubuntu 8.10.

Some notes on my environment:
- I am using XFCE's Compositor
- I am using "Click to Focus"
