If this is going to be fixed I have a related complaint.
I run squeak on a two monitor set up and when I shut her down
and then start again  Squeak comes up on one screen only and
I need to expand it to two screens again.

If two (or more) monitors were in use when Squeak is saved before
shutting Squeak down and those same monitors (or other monitors of the
same sizes)
are available on Squeak Start-up then all the monitors should be used.

Similarly on first start up why not use all available monitors?
