Hi. I frequently add and remove external monitors from my laptop. Each time I
do this, the windows all get rearranged.
I wonder if it's not possible to write an agent that listens for screen
geometry changes, and repositions app windows in the right place each time a
monitor is added or removed
virtual machine.
Even normal apps may get confused at a move that doesn't come in via expected
channels.

or AppleScript; moving windows is in the Standard Suite, so I think any app
which announces itself as scriptable can have its windows moved.
Neither way is 100% reliable. Access
