[Vm-dev] Screen coordinates for the main Squeak window/host windows

[Vanessa Freudenberg]

Maybe check Chrome's "Multi-Screen Window Placement API" docs?

https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5252960583942144

Another idea would be to check what X11 window managers do - I think they
do respect app's placement wishes.

No time to get into this atm unfortunately.
