a number for placing windows, to keep them on screen, but let you place them off...

1. when a window is not on any monitor, don't just ignore it, stick it on the first monitor arbitrarily (rather than the closest monitor - room for improvement?)
2. when placing a window with per-app settings, don't rudely force it back on screen fully.
