Yes, that worked. Thank you.

On the remote system, I made the left monitor primary and the right monitor secondary (disconnected the 3rd). When I click on Browse Connections > Settings > Server Preferences > Updates > Check now … all popup windows show on the left monitor (primary).

It must be some issue with zenity identifying which monitor the request came from, and letting zenity popup on that same monitor.

Thank you for your reply.

The remote system (Mint 20) has zenity 3.32.0, gksudo not installed.

I see similar behavior when I start a program that needs authentication. Example: start gparted on the remote system, the authentication window pops on a different monitor, not on the primary monitor I’m connected to.

I d/l the patched version. Tried to install via GDebi, it would not since the patched version 6.7.6-1 is prior to the existing 6.7.6-14. Then, I sudo dpkg -i patched version, it installed fine. I disconnected the monitor on remote 2, then from the local machine I was able to connect to remote 2 with display … good. I rebooted remote 2 and was able to connect again and have display. So this patch works. See attached a screenshot of the install process.

Thank you for your help.
