If you move Geany across monitors you get it confused, AFAIK the
window manager doesn't inform Geany of the change so it can't
compensate. Just move the dialog again and it should stay there.
In both of my cases i run geany always on the same monitor, but it's not the primary monitor (where the desktop lives). In my 2 setups, the desktop lives on the built-in (laptop) monitors and the external monitors (which are much bigger :) are the secondary monitors (but where i do all my work).
So the problem might be that i'm always running geany on the secondary/external monitors.
Again this might be fixed by session management upgrades, but I doubt it.
i recently upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 10.10 (yes, that's an upgrade) because 11.04 was completely useless for me. For one, the session support was apparently removed altogether (i will refrain from calling the 11.04 decision-makers horrible names (in public) for the time being).
Note Emil's reference is to GTK3 and Geany is NOT gtk3 compatible (or
it might be just that the stupid GTK docs make it too easy to get into
GTK3 when you want GTK2).
i didn't know there was a gtk3 yet.
It sounds to me like i'm stuck with this behaviour for the time being. No big deal - it's only minorly annoying and i would be surprised if this can be fixed in geany without low-level, possibly non-portable hackery.
But thanks for the feedback, guys,
