Hi.

At the moment, im running an early 2011 MBP with an external monitor.

I have the external monitor setup as the primary, and the MBP as the secondary monitor.

I like to throw apps like mail and iTunes on the secondary monitor, while keeping the more important apps on the primary.

Problem is: When I put the MBP to sleep, the apps that were open and maximised on the secondary (MBP) monitor, have now moved across to the primary.

How do I lock an app to a specific monitor?

The thing is, when I shutdown and check the option to open the current apps. The apps stick to the monitor they were on prior to shutting down... Just doesn't work with sleep.
