Actually, IDE should distinguish between its own windows (stacks) and 
user windows (stacks). User windows should be left alone, of course, 
but IDE windows, like Documentation, should check their location in 
preopenstack and hop onto the monitor if located outside. To provide 
backwards compatbility, just in case someone relied on this, this 
behavior could be controlled by a preference flag.
