I'm quite sure I've restarted my computer.

I find it interesting that after I place the smaller display(1280*1024) left of the larger(1920*1080) in system settings->Display, when I click sound settings, system settings ,etc on the smaller display the window will always show on the larger one.
While if I place the smaller display(1280*1024) right of the larger(1920*1080) , the same settings windows will always open correctly on the current display. I' m using default in General Compiz Options->Display Settings and using "Output device with pointer" in Place windows plugin.

Anyway, using "prefer smaller output" in General Compiz Options->Display Settings works for me very well.
