Fix for KeePassX window positioning off screen after changing monitors

Mon, 06 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0000

After removing a secondary monitor from a MacBook, some apps do not properly re-position themselves on your laptop display. KeePassX is one such offender and I was previously manually editing ~/.keepass/config and restarting KeePassX in order to resolve the issue.I came across a much nicer solution on bittube. The solution is great, but the source found there is a bit tricky to copy & paste so I've re-posted here for posterity. Enjoy!
