Tested in gnome-shell with 8f915f0efba3da652ad06fa9fcfba7d6ca26e719.

Open blender (--factory-startup).
Create a new main window.
Move it onto a second monitor.
Save the blend file.
Re-open the blend file.
Both windows are on the same monitor.

When both windows are full-screen the windows are assigned separate monitors, although the order may be swapped.

Note

Wayland doesn't support absolute window positions, which is used by other platforms to ensure windows open on the correct monitor. Nevertheless uses will it likely expect this functionality to remain supported (we've had reports whenever this functionality fails on other platforms #34962 for e.g.).

I've mailed the wayland-devel list to check if this is something that could be supported: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2022-August/042326.html
