Originally created by @pinkavaj on GitHub (Jan 19, 2013).

Position of configuration window is stored when window is closed. When the window is opened latter, it appears at exactly the same (stored) position. When configuration window is closed at secondary monitor, then secondary monitor is disconnected and config window is opened, it restores it-self in position out of screen and thus is unreachble.

Position of configuration window (and others?) shoul be positioned automaticaly by window manager each time window is opened.

VERSION: 3.0.6

@pinkavaj commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2013):

just remove position restoring from options_imp::loadWindowState() would solve this.
(and of course position saving in coresponding function)

Is there something I missed? Is this position saving relly usefull for someone?

I think I have fixed this is the recent versions(3.1.9). Code checks if the position is on screen or off screen before moving the window.
