Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

With a dual-head setup, it would be nice if VLC went fullscreen on the display that the window is on. Currently it always goes fullscreen on the first display.

I'm not sure that this is actually the same as bug #224845 (aka bug #229107) - those reports talk about the window jumping back to the leftmost monitor, whereas I think this might be VLC just always drawing to the first display and not a problem with the window manager.
