[GNC] Issue with Creating/Editing Scheduled Transactions with Multiple Displays?

[Tom Route36]

Hi all,

I don't know if I'm the only one seeing this problem; but here's an 
update for those who might be interested.  The issue with the Edit 
Scheduled Transactions (EST) window opening up on the *other* monitor 
from where GnuCash is open has now spread to when the Reconcile window 
opens as well.  What's really strange about this is that at exactly the 
same time that the Reconcile window started behaving like this, the 
problem with the EST window *stopped* having this problem.  That is, the 
EST window now opens up where it should open -- on the #1 monitor where 
GnuCash is -- even though the Reconcile window opens up on the #2 
monitor at the same time.

I'm really not sure what to make of this.  Is anyone else out there 
using GnuCash with a dual monitor setup?  And is anyone else with that 
setup seeing anything similar to what I'm seeing here?  I don't think I 
can even write up a Bugzilla report on this since the behavior isn't 
consistent from one day to the next.  I'd sure like to know if anyone 
else has had this problem though.

Tom
