The only reason for the dialogs to move is when the window manager

happens to Stephan as he moves between machines, the saved position on
the dual display is illegal on the single one so the window manager
just positions the dialog in a legal position and on close Geany saves
that position which is reused next time on the dual display,
effectively moving the dialog to the other monitor.

Once i learned that geany saves/restores the dialog positions it was easy. Before that i had never tried to move them myself because i assumed they would just revert the next time (as dialogs tend to do in many applications).
