the is the option of leaving it to the window manager to offer the user to move the window. But I guess that works only for advanced WM users that know the shortcuts. Command-line option is of course nice for users who know man pages, but I really would like the program to be useful out of the box even for those who click icons. What is the best default behavior then? Mirror on all or random (i.e. primary) screen? Or even add buttons to shift it to other screens (but that again kind of compromises the minimalistic idea of the program. I don’t even like the Quit button :-)). I’m happy to take suggestions.
