Thread: Launch an app in gnome onto a specific display (multi-monitor)

-

i'm trying launch application on specific display. yes, know it's *supposed* launch onto whatever window have mouse, doesn't happen.

doing:
$ display=":0.0" gnome-calculator

launches application fine, other numbers besides "0"s there causes error, eg,

(gnome-calculator:4211): gtk-warning **: cannot open display: :1.0

ideas syntax supposed $display variable?

more info:
nvidia cards, 3 displays, gnome not unity.

snippet xorg.conf may relevant:
section "serverlayout"
identifier "layout0"
screen 0 "screen0" 1920 0
screen 1 "screen1" 0 0
screen 2 "screen2" 3840 0
inputdevice "keyboard0" "corekeyboard"
inputdevice "mouse0" "corepointer"
option "xinerama" "1"
endsection
