I noted something similar with an App we develop. I've filed a bug
report on it, but I'll reiterate it here. With my multiple monitor
setup, small screen on the left and big screen on the right, when our
application opens a window (which is much to large for the small
window) it opens it on the small screen. It seems like the X-server
is trying to always place things on the smaller screen. I assume this
is due to the fact that 0,0 is on that screen and the app is trying
to place them relative to some small factor near 0,0--but this is
really undesirable. With XDarwin, I could separate the multiple
monitors and assign which one was 0.0. This was much better because
then windows would open on my bigger right screen. Anyway, I thought
I might see what others had to say.

I just installed 0.2 on my TiBook/500 and am having trouble when
using an external monitor. Some apps, like glxgears, seem to open a
window somewhere other than the part of the Desktop covered by the
TiBook screen and external monitors. Without the external monitor,
everything seems OK (though a little slower than 0.1).
this is probably because glxgears hardcodes its window position to 0,0
in the previous release quartz-wm would sometimes override
program-specified window positions. However, in the current release
it should still do this if the window would otherwise be off-screen..
