Lutris games consider secondary monitor to be primary

Summary: I'm having an issue with multi-monitor use in Bazzite 41. KDE behaves properly with my "Primary" monitor. But Lutris games are seeing my secondary monitor as "Primary".

Issue:


A game in Lutris (World of Warcraft) and others think my secondary monitor is "primary".

Desired outcome:


I want to be able to start a freshly installed game on the primary monitor by default. Ideally without needing to tweak in Lutris on each new game install (but that's ok as a workaround if nothing else will solve).

For WoW ... luckily the game has a monitor selection choice. "Primary" monitor selection goes to my secondary monitor, but it also has discrete selection. This is more about wanting to fix the default behavior going forward as I start using Bazzite as my daily driver.

Details


* I have my monitors set where my primary is in the DP-1 port of my GPU.
* KDE is set for that monitor to be "Primary" using System > Settings > Display
*
kscreen-doctor --outputs
kscreen-doctor --outputs
agrees with the settings app, showing DP-1 as priority 1

System Background


* system image: bazzite-nvidia-open 41
* CPU: 5800X3d
* GPU: Nv 3080ti FE
* Monitor1 (on DP-1 port): Dell AW3821DW
* Monitor2 (on DP-3 port): KTC 2560x1440

PS. This is likely the same as https://discordapp.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1343086851841589321 ... but there is no conclusion there and I didn't want to hijack. Feel free to merge a reply in there if preferred with a quote of this message.
