Does the context menu open on a different display?

Here, if my cursor is on a different display then sometimes the context menu 
will
open where the cursor is rather than where focus is.

No. Clicking on the menu (say "File") does change its appearance (as if it is 
active) 
but no menu is visible on either display. Right-clicking on places that should 
provide 
context menus also causes change (such as text or pointer mouse cursor becoming 
arrow, 
or whatever is appropriate), but again no menu is visible.

i have this same issue. I do think it shows up somewhere, but it doesnt appear 
to be visible on either monitor. If I disable a monitor however, I'll that menu 
dialogues are showing up offset way to the right of where I clicked. With VLC 
its even stranger...some menus will work problem, whereas others will show up 
at the top of the current monitor with all the entries layed out horizontally 
instead of vertical.

very strange behavior...

i have vlc set to float, and k3b is handled using the default xmonad management 
settings. it may be a general qt issue + dual mon issue, but cant really 
isolate any consistent behavior

I wouldn't call it general, because it works OK in Ubuntu in Gnome, and it 
works OK in Xmonad in, say, Gentoo.

I am having the same issue. Sometimes, I can't see the menu even if I am in the 
first screen.

Some of KDE's windows -- though I don't remember if menus qualified (ultimately 
I gave up on running KDE) -- needed special handling.  This may help or it may 
be barking up the wrong tree.  My config had

import qualified XMonad.Hooks.ManageHelpers as HMH

isKDEOverride = do
    isover <- HMH.isInProperty "_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE" "_KDE_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_OVERRIDE"
    isfs <- HMH.isFullscreen
    return $! isover && (not isfs)

myManageHook = composeAll . concat $
       [ [ HMH.composeOne [ isKDEOverride HMH.-?> doFloat ] ]
       , -- ...
       ]

This is not xmonad specific. I had it here with different window managers. Just 
asked at the kde forums about it:

Same situation here. The suggestion in comment #6 didn't work for me.
