Windows and screens...

[David Bovill]

Thanks Eric - that would look like the problem. from the docs:

The value of the windowBoundingRect is not updated automatically when you

Also it looks like windowBoundingRect is not copatible with the new multiple
monitor support (ie screenrects) - so you cannot specify the
windowBoundingRect to work appropriately on the different screens.... I
guess there could be a front "preopenstack" script that detected whcih
screen a stack is about to open on?
