Fixing this would be great. My workaround of late has been to run an  
applescript to bring the window back to the main display, but  
application support for recognizing this would be much preferable.  
Getting the dialogs problem worked out becomes an added bonus.

If this ends up being a problem to fix, I can post my applescript text  
to the bug report so an alternative solution is available. I won't  
bother if this is going to be squashed.
