Bug#951327: thunar: Does not respect DISPLAY variable. Always opens on the primary X screen.

[Harri Suutari <hsuutari@gmx.com>]

Package: thunar
Version: 1.8.4-1
Severity: important

Hi,

I have four monitors as separate X screens. So on each screen I get a different
value for the DISPLAY environment variable:
DISPLAY=:0.0
DISPLAY=:0.1
DISPLAY=:0.2
DISPLAY=:0.3

But in Buster on Xfce desktop now Thunar window now always opens up on the
primary :0.0 monitor. Like if it didn't realize the existence of several
monitors. No matter how it's started: either from the desktop icons or from the
applications menu. This was not the case with Stretch and earlier releases.

Xfce is now quite awkward to use, as the file manager can be used on only one
of the monitors.

Regards,
Harri
