This would set the top left to one pixel more than monitor one's 
available screen space. However if the screen res is changed on monitor 
one to something other than 1280*1024 than the stack will be offset on 
"monitor 2" by the difference. You could get monitor 1's size and 
handle that via script but you won't be able to know what monitor 2's 
size is so that one is still a guess or set up before hand.

Getting the screen size of monitor 1 is easy but getting the screen 
size of monitor 2 may not happen. So be sure to tell your client that 
they should not change the screen size's of either monitor while using 
your software.

Doing that anyway has caused me problems due to the way Rev handles 
screen resolutions.
