Resetting Window Positions

110
The DCD displays a single logical screen across two monitors. Most applications position
their popup windows near their main window, or near the cursor. However, some
applications center their popup windows. When such applications are in dual channel
mode, one half of the window appears on one monitor, and the other half of the window
appears on the other monitor, as shown in Figure 4-7.
To work around this, modify the application's resources, as follows:
Channel 0, left monitor

To launch an application in a specific location, add the
command line. For example, the following command opens a window with the upper
left-hand corner of the window 30 pixels from the left of the screen and 200 pixels from
the top of the screen.
xterm -geometry +30+200
If you are using a resolution of 1280 x 1024 and you want to place a window on the
second display, add 1280 to the first number. For example:
xterm -geometry +1310+200
