Attention Mac users…
I’m seeking a little help here. I use a dual monitor setup with my MacBook Pro when I’m at work (the laptop screen is one of the two screens). Anyway, when I unhook the DVI cable, sometimes application windows don’t rearrange themselves on the main laptop screen. Instead, they’re somewhere, way the hell out of the visible area.
I can see the windows if I use Exposé, but I can’t move them back to where they’d be visible once leaving Exposé. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get those windows moved back, at least somewhere so I can grab hold of them with the mouse cursor?

Many Mac apps have “Zoom” or “Zoom Window” under the Window menu. Also, check that your MacBook Pro doesn’t think that the external monitor is still hooked up by choosing “Detect Displays” in System Preferences or from the menu bar (assuming you have enabled the menu). If all else fails, relaunching the app should do the trick.
