Bug#493019: gnome-applets: volume applet: 'preferences' dialog pops up on the wrong screen

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.22.3-1
Severity: normal

I've got a setup where a single nVidia graphics card is connected to a
monitor thru a VGA port and to a TV thru a TVout port. The monitor is on
X Screen 0 and the TV on X Screen 1 ( this setup is called 'multiple X
screens' setup in nvidia-settings configuration manager )

There's a slight problem with Gnome Volume Applet in this setup: if I
am on the TV, and I right click on it and select 'Preferences', the
preferences dialog appears on the monitor, not on the TV. Seems like it
always wants to appear on X Screen 0 no matter from where it was
launched.

Other dialogs ( like for example the 'Open Volume Control' dialog of the
very same Gnome Volume Applet ) correctly appear on the screen they were
launched on.
