Could you paste screenshot of mate-display-properties configuration?
Sure:

I use
xrandr --output HDMI1 --primary
to set my default screen - for some reason mate-display-properties 'make default' setting does nothing for me, but maybe that's just me having a mess on my archlinux configuration.
If I remember 'make default' button requires a folder in /etc/, let me check
Well, I have this file, and there seems to be some content in it. I don't know why I have a feew
I'll try to cleanup that file and see if that helps. But is this related to default icon position?
Allright, I did clean monitors.xml file manually, and now the default screen gets selected automatically, I don't have to use xrandr anymore. That's nice.
Now I'm not sure why the monitors.xml file was invalid, I'm using mate quite a while now, perhaps there was a bug earlier that's now fixed, but my monitors.xml file was already corrupt, so it would have to be created again.
I'f you'd like to take a closer look at this in the future, here's my current (manually edited, working monitors.xml file): http://wklej.org/hash/60586816ba4/ and here's the previous version, that I started with: http://wklej.org/hash/ed13be5b85b/
The icons, however, are still on the left monitor, and that's the main subject of this issue ;P

Caja 1.24.0 still has this issue.
Any news about this feature? Having desktop icons on the wrong display is quiet annoying :( Thank you! :)
Any progress?
Can you move icons there manually?
@lukefromdc Yes it's possible to move them, but if you do a "Organize desktop by name" everything gets back to the wrong monitor. New icons get created on the wrong monitor, too.
My guess is "organize desktop by name" must automatically put icons on the primary monitor. Most users probably want them there, but most !=all
Feature request: it would be nice to be able to choose on which desktop will caja render icons. Currently I'm using dual-head with primary monitor on the right, and my desktop icons are on the left screen.
