Voting for this might help:

Otherwise, because this bites me so frequently (especially because I work on a 
PowerBook, which switches regularly from being sole monitor, to being the 
second monitor, to the left and below an external main monitor)  I have a 
button on my modified toolbar, which does this:

  on mouseUp
    set the dialogData to "Select a window to relocate" & return & the windows
    modal stack "MyTBListDlog"
    put the dialogData into tWinName
    if tWinName = empty then exit mouseUp
    set the loc of window tWinName to the screenloc
    set the top of window tWinName to 120
  end mouseUp

(MyTBListDlog simply presents a line format list, lets you click one line and 
OK, or cancel.)

Not quite sure why it sets both the loc and the top - probably it did one, 
then I added the other - but it's been that way for about four years now...
