Bless you and all who sail in you, that is excellent!

At last ArtWorks dialogue boxes open in a sensible position.

Have you tried it with Photodesk? Ctrl-TAB to go full-screen now does
funny things. Maybe you need an exclusion list.

No and possibly. First things first, there is a long list of caveats which
mean that funny things can and do happen. If you download OpenWatch again,
you'll notice I've now documented all that I can think of in the ReadMe.

I'm having a think about simple work-arounds, but they all look quite
time-consuming to me and OpenWatch was just a small thing I did in between
bigger things.

Out of interest, how many Geminus users have one monitor stacked on top of
another?

Good question, I suspect the number is somewhere between 0 and 1. But then
I'm not related to the Geminus development team so can only guess. :)
