Public bug reported:

I have a dual-monitor setup with my secondary monitor on the left and
primary monitor on the right.

On first startup (when LinuxDCPP.xml doesn't exist), LinuxDC++ will open
at position X=100 (which is on the secondary monitor) instead of
something > 1024 (primary monitor). I then have to drag it over to my
primary monitor.

Also, because I immediately maximized my window (and never unmaximized
it), the X position is never saved. After months of frustration I
realised this only after inspecting the code myself (workaround was to
unmaximize, drag over to primary and quit program so that X saved as >
1024).

I see the latest GTK has a gdk_screen_get_primary_monitory() function
which could aid with this? But what is the minimum requirements in terms
of GTK?

PS: To add to my frustration, my secondary monitor is actually my TV,
which isn't always on. I had to switch on the TV so that I could drag
the LinuxDC++ window over.
