Description Magnus Boman 2008-04-06 21:20:32 UTC 
In a Xinerama setup, if an application starts maximized, it always ends up on the left screen, even if it's started from a terminal on the right screen.
One can see that it actually creates the window unmaximized on the right hand screen first, before popping over on the left screen and maximizes.

I've the same problem, my desktop resolution is 1440x900, when maximize the apps, it just 1024x768 in top-left of desktop.

And when I move the normal window out the 1024x768, then click maximize, it works fine, very weird, :)

Li,
I think you have a different issue. I have a dual monitor setup and if I start the application on the right hand screen, it will pop over to the left screen if the application maximizes itself.
Your issue could possible be related to intel graphics card and if it is, try xrandr --auto and see if that helps. There is a bug for that already (Bug#343858)

Magus, 
Thanks!

When I change the /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, it works fine

#DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1024x768_60 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync"

DISPLAYMANAGER_RANDR_MODE_auto="1440x900_60 87.25 1440 1488 1520 1600 900 903 909 926 +HSync -Vsync"

but I don't know what is the reason.

1. Metacity or compiz?

2. Which application in particular?

3. Does this still happen in openSUSE 11.1?

No, works fine in 11.1 :-)
