Thank you for your bug report, what desktop environment do you use? What monitor is the primary one, which one do you disable? It would help if you could describe your monitors layout and what you do exactly

Changed in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu):
importance:	Undecided → Low
status:	New → Incomplete

The primary monitor is a Lenovo LCD and the secondary monitor was a Sony Diamontron CRT. The one on which the settings dialog resided was the primary monitor and the one where the confirmation dialog appeared was the secondary one.
