Controlling which X SCREEN Kodi opens on - helamonster - 2015-04-20

Since upgrading from XBMC to Kodi 14.2 (Git:7cc53a9) on Ubuntu 14.04, I can no longer control which X SCREEN Kodi runs on. Normally this would be done by setting the DISPLAY environment variable with DISPLAYID:SCREENID, but Kodi seems to ignore it and I haven't been able to find anywhere to configure it.
By X SCREEN I mean SCREEN in the Xorg sense, not the display or monitor. This is NOT the same as this other issue: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=83797
I have 4 monitors, 2 on one X SCREEN (:0.0) and 2 on another (:0.1).
When I execute the following:
Code:
kodi
or:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.1 kodi
Kodi always opens on the first X SCREEN.

Am I missing something here, or does Kodi simply not currently support multiple X SCREENS like earlier versions?

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!
