--- Comment #29 from Dennis Drew <drewcrewof2@xxxxxxxxx>  2009-11-24 15:12:36 PDT ---
OK, One of these issues (in my and others cases) is due to confusion of startup
code when in an environment with mutiple mismatched monitor screen sizes, not
placed in a predictable x-y arrangement, and main desktop not on monitor 1. 

Secondly Windows 7 has introduced some changes in the way the docking toolbar
does things, more like Mac's now. For example if you have 2-3 IE browsers up
with several tabs of pages on each browzer, it only docks one icon for all IE.
When you hoover over this single icon, all of the net pages from all of the
loaded browsers appear side by side across and above the docking toolbar, you
can slide over and select any one. W 7 then restores that browser and selects
that page (tab) to be current. The "Move" choice (needed to correct lost
applications) has been moved to another location (from the single icon toolbar
right click) so I think WS presently can't deal with this in this environment.

If you have 4 monitors on two adaptors and the main desktop is not on monitor
1, WS seems to miscalculate where to settle. There are two issues to resolve,
WS becoming oriented proprly and also if all else fails, the convetional "Move"
utility from toolbar restore right click needs to work again, as stated above.

I will set up a build environment and look into it.
