I was going to add this to Brian’s HTML viewer thread but it seemed to
warrant a new one.  My OLR opens as a blank page now since I originally
opened it and moved it to a second monitor. All was well until I went on a trip and had only a powerbook display (assuming it is lodged into the 2nd
monitors location)  – then it wouldn’t show at all.  At some point, it
opened underneath my RB window, only it is empty and has opened ‘empty’
(white screen) ever since. I figure if I toss my prefs it’ll jog back into the main screen, but I don’t want to loose my other settings. Lazy again, I
know, but any ideas of how to get it back without trashing the prefs?

FYI RB isn't the only app that is "monitor unaware" like this

iCal has this odd behavior as well despite a second monitor no longer being present.
As do a few other Apple tools.
The only thing I've found to fix it is (gotta love this) move the extra windows/panes/ etc back to the main monitor BEFORE you unhook the second monitor Deleting prefs sometimes doesn't do it esp if they write settings to the system defaults (which some DO - not sure whose brain wave that was to put things in a place where they are so bloody hard to clear)
