A while back I wrote about my problem with dual display to single display window placement, and I received a bunch of emails from people having the same problem. Thankfully, I also received an email from Abhay Kumar1 with a solution: A freeware, Universal preference pane called Forget-Me-Not.

Forget-Me-Not will remember your window positions for you! Forget-Me-Not will save your window sizes! Forget-Me-Not will restore everything for you when you re-connect your monitor!

And, by golly, it actually works. The only things that don't seem to get moved back correctly are the Twitterific window and the Quicksilver panel, but everything else gets moved about perfectly.

Now I can unplug my Cinema Display and all the windows shift to single-display layout. Plug the display back in and bam—they're back where I want them. Fantastic!
