View Full Version : [ubuntu] How to use specific display/monitor when process is started

On Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop.


I have two monitors attached to my system which works great. I normally work in eclipse and do have GUI applications launching from eclipse for debugging.

I would like to put newly launched application on other monitor than one occupied by eclipse. By habit, my eclipse is almost always in right monitor and I would like to launch my application in left monitor by default.

Currently system starts it in whatever monitor focus seems to be. If I immediately click in other monitor, application does start in other monitor.
Is there any way I can configure so that processes started from eclipse (either based on process name or other parameters) will go to monitor I want by default.
