Ah, I misunderstood.

I have a similar set-up. IDL on my right-hand screen and
graphics windows displayed on the left-hand screen. When
I do this:

img = Image(Dist(200))

The image appears over the top of my Workbench on the right-
hand screen. However, if I do this:

img = Image(Dist(200), Location=[50,100])

The image appears on my left-hand screen, positioned in the
correct location from the upper-left corner.

I can put the image on my right hand screen by doing something
like this:

img = Image(Dist(200), Location=[1650,100])

Is this not what you see?

Cheers,

David
