would be :0, so Geany stores that the dialog is on :0 and then when
you run it locally it pops up on :0 which is the main screen.
It's localhost:10.0 when running over (ssh -X), but the the starting display offset can be configured in ssh, IIRC. But the copy of geany running over ssh is not the same geany binary i run locally - my local copy is only ever active on my external monitor (but it _might_ have, at some point, started up on the internal monitor and i moved it over to the external monitor). On both geany binaries i'm seeing the same behaviour - main window is on screen #2 while dialogs pop up over on #1.
i don't see anything in geany.conf about the display but i do see a socket:
stephan@infomat-dev:~/public_html$ l /home/stephan/.config/geany/
...
lrwxrwxrwx 1 stephan consol 26 Jul 8 13:52 geany_socket_infomat-dev_localhost_10 -> /tmp/geany_socket.d5368770
...
Either that or its a display (like :2) that doesn't exist on your
local machine so the WM just shrugs and puts Geany on the screen its
started from and the dialog on :0
Where would i find the persistent display setting? The only mention of ':' i find in geany.conf is:
pref_template_datetime=%d.%m.%Y %H:%M:%S %Z
