1.4.1 Update 1 on a Titanium with a video projector as a second
display plugged in (not mirroring).

Startup a java application and drag its window to the second
screen (the projector).

Have the application bring up a file open dialog box.

Problem 1.

The dialog appears in the center of the first display (the laptop LCD),
not on the screen where the application is.

OK, so drag the dialog box over to the second screen, where
the audience can see it.

Problem 2.

When one tries to use the pulldown list to navigate
to the parent of the current folder, the pulldown list appears
back on the laptop screen, not where it is being pulled down from
on the dialog box !

Very bizarre.

Has anyone seen this sort of behavior ?

Have you tried this with 1.4.1 pre Update 1? I ask because 1.4.1 brought
in a new feature, controlled by the property:
apple.awt.window.position.forceSafeProgrammaticPositioning

which defaults to "true". The problem is, it considers any position off
the main display to be "unsafe". Try setting this property to "false", if
possible. This is not possible if you are running via Java Web Start, as
Java Web Start causes AWT to read the property value and lock it in stone
long before the target app starts up.
