Bug Description

Hi!

Every day when I come to work I plug in my external monitor, and after that, I plug it out, so that later at home I only use my laptop's monitor. And every day I have to do some additional job, because after unplugging my external monitor some windows get into my second desctop (which I never use).

Example: when your big external monitor is plugged, put chat on right side of it. Then unplug external monitor.
Results: your chat window on your smaller laptop is on the "right" workspace/desktop.
Expected results: your chat window on your smaller laptop is on the same workspace/desktop as it was before, maybe with the same relative percent-padding from top-left corner.

Hope it's possible. Thanks!
