Multi monitor annoyance

Happy holidays to all.

I have a simple question:

We see more and more cases where our users may have more then one
monitor attached to their workstations.  The default behavior for the VW
is to open any new window in the "Primary monitor".  And it does cause
problems for people:

If they move their application on the secondary monitor any consecutive
window they open, pops up on the primary.

There is a code somewhere in the system to detect what monitor the
Application window is  on, and later force other window to be opened on
the same.

ANy info is greatly appreciated,

Regards,

Mark,

Screen has subregions variable that holds on to resolutions of multiple
monitors in the order as reported by the OS, so

(Screen default boundsAround: 10@10)

should be returning proper window bounds for multi monitor system
depending on where the mouse cursor is at the time (see senders of
#boundsAround:); if you are seeing something different happening, I'm
sure a few watchpoints here and there should help, most likely some
windowing protocol is ignoring that circumstance.

Cheers!
