We blindly accept the geometry requested by floating windows, which is usually the right thing to do. This case, however, is a bit troublesome. What do other window managers do in this situation?

I had a quick look but I don't see anything in ICCCM. I did a quick test with metacity (running in xnest). For this situation (where xmonad shows the transient at the top left hand of the screen) metacity shows it over the main window.

"My" popup wasn't displayed at 0,0; it was displayed near the center (but a little bit east and south of it) of the primary head. FWIW, if I move the popup to the right workspace (and thus head) once manually, then subsequent popups show up on the right head. (Or do they show up in the right workspace? I didn't try to switch workspaces between invoking the popup and the window appearing.) Kai
