fix multi-monitor behavior?

Media Monkey isn't very multi-monitor compliant.
I have 3 monitors in the following config
[3][2][1]
where 1 is the primary monitor for several reasons. Media monkey always comes up on screen 1. I drag it to screen 2 (stretched to two screen widths so i can see all of the columns). Once I close it and reopen it's back on screen 1.
Popups have a similar behavior. While I always reposition MM to the same config, the popups sometimes appear on screen 2, sometimes on screen 1. The most prefered solution would to just have them reappear where I last left them (not just the screen, but the x/y coordinates).
Tech junk...
If tech info matters, screens 2 and 1 are the two outputs of a single video card (ATI 9600XT - AGP) and screen 3 is the output of a single output Radeon 7000 (PCI). However I see the same behavior when using MM on a dual screen setup using a laptop with a dual screen (non mirrored of course) configuration. (secondary screen is to the left as well).
From a coding standpoint this means the X origin of screen 2 is (-1280) and screen 3 is (-2560) since monitors map from the origin of the primary.
