- One caveat I'd like to point out... when I do this on my 2-montor setup,
- the window gets neatly centered within the entire display space. That's
- right, the window is half on one screen and half on another. I haven't
- figured out a fix for this, but evidently Blyth has, at least internally--
- their "about" box no longer comes up neatly split across my two screens,
- but instead centered in my "main" monitor!
