    Description

      When using Qt 5.2.1 it's no longer possible to show widgets on different screens in Ubuntu. When developing applications meant for multiple displays this bug is crippling.

      I've attached quick test case for two screens. When compiled with Qt 4.8 it correctly shows one widget per screen. When compiled with Qt 5.2.1 both widgets appear on primary screen.

      UPD. I've also tried compiling with Qt 5.4.1 downloaded from qt.io, and the problem is still there.
