Hmmm, I don't use multi-monitor displays myself, so I can't test this 
behaviour and I also don't think anybody is working on this.

The placement of tool-tips and drop-down (pop-up) menus isn't handled by 
Ethereal itself.

Ethereal only tells the underlying GTK toolkit, that it needs a tool-tip 
or a drop-down menu, and the GTK toolkit does the rest.

So this sems to be a problem in the GTK toolkit (probably win32 
specific), not Ethereal itself.
