Full screen client on specific monitor

Hi,
I have a host with two monitors, and my full screen virtual machine uses one of them. I want it always to come up on the same monitor (rhs). Usually it comes up either on the lhs monitor, or it takes over both monitors, the vm display centered between my two monitors.

When this happens, I just <right-ctrl>-F into windowed mode, then <right-ctrl>-F back into full-screen, which reliably returns it to the rhs monitor.

From my .vbox file:

Code: Select all

    <ExtraData>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/AutoresizeGuest" value="off"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/Fullscreen" value="on"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastCloseAction" value="powerOff"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastGuestSizeHint" value="1280,1024"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastGuestSizeHint1" value="640,480"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastGuestSizeHintWasFullscreen" value="true"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastNormalWindowPosition" value="0,0,1280,1024"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastNormalWindowPosition1" value="355,333,640,520"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/LastScaleWindowPosition" value="1280,20,1280,999,max"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/MiniToolBarAlignment" value="bottom"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/SaveMountedAtRuntime" value="yes"/>
      <ExtraDataItem name="GUI/ShowMiniToolBar" value="no"/>
    </ExtraData>

Would it help to change change LastNormalWindowPosition to "1280,0,1280,1024"?
