Description Luiz Angelo De Luca 2007-11-21 18:37:31 UTC 
Version:           desconhecido (using KDE 3.96.00 (KDE 4.0 RC1), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.22.12-0.1-default

Even specifying the DISPLAY, kde4 apps always open in DISPLAY 0.0

DISPLAY=:0.1 /usr/bin/konsole  #kde4      - konsole open on DISPLAY 0.0
DISPLAY=:0.1 /opt/kde3/bin/konsole  #kde3 - konsole open on DISPLAY 0.1
Comment 1 Lubos Lunak 2007-11-21 19:18:27 UTC 
There is only one instance of Konsole in KDE4 and you very likely have already one running on 0.0, that's why the "another" one opens there too - it just opens another window in the already running Konsole. Doing e.g. "DISPLAY=:0.1 kwrite" works fine.

Given that non-xinerama dualhead is unmaintained in KDE, I suggest switching to a xinerama-like setup.

I think it might be useful to have a way of starting new instances in a separate process.  gnome-terminal features an option to force a new process.
