I'm a regular multi-screen user and didn't encounter problems. > Does anyone have an intuition of how Pd manages to break the OS's > window management? Can you elaborate some more?

Can you describe an exact example of what you do, what you expect and what actually happens? The canvas positions are saved with the patch and I haven't experienced any inconsistencies with that. But I imagine you can trick it into doing funny things when you save a position that is non-existent when you open the patch again. Let's say you have the second screen right of the first screen, then any canvas put there will have position values bigger than your first screen. I actually don't know what happens when you open that patch with a single-screen desktop. My window manager tries to place it in the nearest free screen space from top left. Roman
