[scribus] main window persistently off-screen

[Doug Steele]

I have been running Scribus 1.4.1 on Windows-7 with an external 
monitor to the left of my laptop.  If the document screen is fully on 
the external monitor when I save the file, the next time I open the 
file is zooms off-screen, but to a virtual location where the monitor 
would be if it were mounted to the right of the laptop screen. The 
only way I found to get the document screen back to the main, laptop, 
screen is to use the Window-7 monitor setup control to reconfigure 
the external monitor's virtual location to be to the right of the 
main monitor. I can then bring the document back to the main monitor 
and re-set the virtual location of the external monitor to be to the 
left of the main monitor.  I try to remember to bring the document 
back to the main monitor before saving the file, but I forget to do 
it fairly often and then have to go through the procedure I described.

My suggestion is to change Scribus to always open the document on the 
main monitor as it does for other of its windows such as the layers 
and properties windows.
