Of course it's the window manager's duty to place the windows but as thunderbird doesn't start a new process for each invocation, this cannot work (because the windows of a process are always created on the same screen). When I have a running thunderbird process, whose windows are on screen 0 and I start one on screen 1 the thunderbird from screen 1 should be displayed on screen 1 and not screen 0. I'm not sure if it's generally not possible that an application displays windows on different X screens but if not,... code must be added to run a new process on the 2nd screen instead of just creating a new windows (from the old process). Of course this is problematic with thunderbird's profiles,.. Any ideas? This is in principle identical to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=425092 Reproducible: Always

This should be the same issue as bug 319965. That bug contains FF in the title, but it is a Core issue so solving it would fix the thunderbird case too.
