And a totally pointless thing that is too. There simply isn't any
need to do it - especially with the Ffenstri code allowing easy
access to setting the position/size/etc of the window(s). All this
can be in the image startup code instead of buried pointlessly in the
file header. We could query the screen size(s), decide sensibly where
to locate the window, whether it can match the saved size or not, all
that in the image with easily modified policy.
I don't think we had secondary screen stuff specified as yet for
Ffenestri but it is probably a trivial addition.
