I'm using the plotting package Veusz and when I last used it I had my mac plugged into an external monitor using VGA, with Veusz on the external. I just have my mac at the moment, and Veusz is still opening on a second desktop, even though there's not one. I have tried 'Detect displays' and this doesn't help, since my mac appears to know that there is not a second monitor. How can I move the window back to my desktop without having to plug it in to another monitor and drag it across?

Hate asking this, but, did you try rebooting? Most of these multiple-displays issues are solved after a reboot.– ThecafremoOct 16, 2012 at 13:16

I did, and no joy– ClaireOct 16, 2012 at 13:27

How do you know that the package still opens the windows on the second desktop? Can you exclude that it is not a different, unrelated bug?– user8472Oct 16, 2012 at 16:15

When I swipe to Mission Control the window for it pans across from the right hand side. It's done this before, I've just always had an external monitor around, I normally make a point to drag the window for it back to my mac's screen before closing the program or disconnecting the external monitor. I thought now would be a good time to try and find a way to fix it with just my mac, seeing as that's all I've got to hand at the moment.– ClaireOct 16, 2012 at 16:50

Seems like a bug in Veusz -- it's not gracefully handling the case where the secondary display no longer exists. Does the app have a "Window" menu? If so, maybe the "Zoom" option will bring the window back. Either way, you might contact the author(s) about the issue.– jmkOct 19, 2012 at 8:33

I use a window manager by default (I highly recommend them anyway) and that will let you move windows back (my personal recomendation is Divy http://mizage.com/divvy/ - but I think they are all pretty similar)
