Description:
I've got two monitors connected to my machine.

Every time the MySQL Admin tool opens, it places itself straddled across the two machines. So everytime it opens the very first thing I have to do is move it, just so I can see the thing. Very annoying. Especially since I place my taskbar on the left side of the right monitor. 

Please remedy. 

How to repeat:
Get a Windows machine w/ multiple monitor support. Run WinMySQLAdmin.exe

Suggested fix:
Either detect multiple monitors, and place it in the center of one of them (_not_ centered across the entire desktop), or use whatever "standard" window placement MS provides.

The Window positions are now stored and re-stored, both in MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser.

This bugfix will be in the next release.

Btw. the same issue works well on XP as the multiple monitor support has been improved in this windows version.
