I use Dialog Move and is happy with it. No need to be a shame :up: - the only problem I have found is that some info windows which really shouldn't move, also are moving.

I'm glad you like it, curt!
If you find any window that shouldn't have been moved, just press F11, and it won't be moved next time ;)

Here's a solution:
<shaaaaameless plug>
Use DialogMove, which moves the new dialogs that come up to your mouse position ;)

What I don't get is why a shameless plug for DialogMove, and not for GridMove. Wouldn't that work well for something like that too, or do I not understand well what it does? I don't have a two monitor setup, so I can't try these fancy different things.

EhEh... You're right, a shameless plug for gridmove would also be suitable :)
The difference is that with dialogmove, the used doesn't have to do a thing, the program moves the window automagically, whereas with gridmove you have to press a hotkey for the window to move. Also, DialogMove doesn't resize the window, while gridmove does.
Still, thanks for the publicity :D

FYI: DialogMove is not one of those fancy things,
it is very suitable for any single monitor as well.
Tekzel:
I see, tekzel!
What i don't understand, tekzel, is what are the advantages of using the "span" mode.

Well, after having spent a few days with it, I have decided the advantages don't really outweigh the disadvantages. The main one, is aesthetic... having a single desktop wallpaper that covers both monitors seamlessly. You could site having a longer task bar, thus allowing more app icons, but if that is an issue you could just increase the height of it.
The disadvantages for me though, are numerous. I didn't like dialog placement, on DualView setups dialogs pop in the center of the active or primary screen, not split between them. I decided I prefer my task bar to be on on monitor only, not spanned across both. Well, I guess that is mostly it. Anyway, I am back to DualView now, and will stay with that config.
