A screenshot of monitor setup and of error output.

Problem description: Using LibreOffice 3.5.1 with Openbox 3.5.0 on a fully up-to-date Arch Linux install, LibreOffice fails to open on my second X-screen. I have 2 nvidia cards, one connected to each monitor, and I am running separate X-sessions (one for each screen).

LibreOffice 3.4.5 works fine on both screens without issue, hence why I am filing this bug against LibreOffice as opposed to making it an Arch bug or X bug. I am including a screenshot that shows you straight from the Nvidia control panel how my screens are setup, and as well shows a terminal with the output that occurs when attempting to start a LibreOffice program.

This bug applies to all LibreOffice programs (Impress, Writer, etc).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install LibreOffice 3.5.1
2. Attempt to open on second monitor.

Current behavior: Doesnt open..

Expected behavior: Should open on both screens.

Platform (if different from the browser): Linux, as stated below.

GENTOO Bug 415407 :

"app-office/libreoffice-3.5.3.2[gtk,nsplugin]

in a triple monitor XFCE setup"

"Even if commanding
  'DISPLAY=":0.1" && export DISPLAY'  or

starting the app-office/libreoffice-3.5.3.2 from inside a terminal,
the application always starts on :0.0."

"Changing

       USE = " -gtk* -nsplugin* " 

results in expected behavior."


# equery uses libreoffice
...
 - - gnome     : Adds GNOME support
...
 - - gtk       : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit)
...
 - - kde       : Adds support for KDE (K Desktop Environment)
...

!  LibreOffice built without any of those support frameworks
!  starts correctly on the requested monitor/display/device.

In my case, running XFCE4, gtk created the problem.

Unfortunately I forgot to test with plain X + twm - sorry.
