Description T 2012-10-12 08:56:32 UTC 
nVidia - 2 screens set up as seperate screens, with their own panel. I can copy between screens otherwise they should be seperate. eg Firefox has 2 profiles (one for each screen)

Any way, monitor 2 is my TV. THe authentification allways appears behind the TV (or whatever program is running on monitor 2.

It should appear on the same monitor the program has been started in...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set up 2 seperate monitors with nVidia (ie not dualview or xinerama)
2. install update via Muon on monitor 2 
3. authentification appears on monitor 1



Its very annoynig, more thasn once I have missed a security update because the authentification was hidden on the nwrong screen and timed out...
