Bug Description

I have 2 monitors each running a separate xscreen. GNOME DO works very well in monitor1/xscreen0, but it does not work on monitor2/xscreen1.

When I use the shortcut (super+space) in xscreen1 nothing happens. While in the same xscreen, I go to the menu and select GNOME DO from there, it opens on monitor1/xscreen0 !! ... very sad.

I would be glad to provide any more info, and perform further test as is needed.

Regards.

As I've mentioned on one of the duplicates of this bug (that you've
found previously), this hasn't been a priority for me. Two separate
protocol screens is (I believe) a pretty rare use-case.

I'd be perfectly willing to accept patches which still ensured that you
run no more than one Do instance per protocol screen, or which (even
better) started up an instance of Do on all protocol screens when you
start it on any screen.
