Is there any chance of changing the code so that it checks that the window
position of any OP window lies within the screen area? Perhaps this could
happen when the app starts, or be made an option in a menu so that one could
at any time bring all windows back to the centre of the visible area?
Or is it impossible (especially with apps like !MoreDesk) to tell what the
visible screen area actually is?
I know that with Windows there's often a problem if I run an app on my
multi-screen setup and something saves the fact that it's on one of the
outer screens, then the same saved config is used when I run the app on a
laptop... (I share lots of config files between machines.) It means I have
to try to get into the habit of bringing far-flung windows to the central
one before shutting apps down. I also don't always turn on the screens on
and sometimes wonder why starting some app seems not to have done anything
and then remember, turn the outside ones on, and find an app window all by
itself in the outer darkness...
