Description:
Currently gmrun always runs on screen 0 if you have more than one display.
and by not setting a default position means that it appears
on the current screen not always screen 0.

Additional info:
gmrun 0.9.2-4

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run gmrun on a multihead machine.

I attached the patch to solve this.

I don't want to patch features in our package. Please either take over as upstream developer, find someone who will or fork it. That way everyone can benefit from your changes, rather than only our users.

The gmrun is a simple program, create a fork just for this change would be unnecessary. I believe that only include the patch to the package would be the best option at the moment.

If this is done in the future, great! But why "hold" the improvement? leave the patch when nothing is done.

I won't apply feature patches.

Creating a fork just for this change is not unnecessary because there are some other open bugs on the upstream tracker and if you fork it there is someone who can fix those and other distributions don't have to go and collect patches.
