When my Mozilla broswer is on my second display (dual headed) and I do anything
that involves a popup, the popup display on the primary display on the very
right. This can be clicking a menu, highlighting a link, or the url history when
I begin to type an address.

My second display is position to the right of my primary and runs at 1600x1200
whiel my primary runs at 1680x1050.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a browser
2.Move the broswer entirely to the secondary display
3.Click the File menu (or any menu for that matter)

Actual Results:  
The menu appears on the primary display, well away from the cursor.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the menu on the secondary display, under the text for the menu.

Attachment: dual head bug

I can reproduce using the 20051012 nightly build on Windows XP Pro service pack
2.

Steps to reproduce (always reproducable on my machine):
1. On a dual head monitor, ensure the second monitor is _not_ activated
("Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor" is not checked)
2. Start firefox
3. Activate the second monitor ("Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor"
is now checked)
4. Drag the firefox window to the secondary monitor.
5. Use any menu or popup. The menu or popup appears on the primary monitor.

If you start firefox _after_ the second monitor is active, then the problem
does not manifest. So I can only re-create it if I start firefox before the
second monitor is activated.

I get the same issue with thunderbird.
