Apps/windows lost going from dual to single monitor

Question

I use a MacBook Pro at work, where I hook up to an external monitor. Later at home when I use the MacBook without the external monitor, I lose windows for apps that were last viewed on the other monitor. If I use Exposé to view all the open windows, the missing window slides in from off screen. If I try to select it, it slides back off screen.
Is there any simple way to get the app window back into the single screen? So far the only solutions I've found are to delete the app's preferences, or to track down the plist that describes the windows location and go in and manually edit the coordinates. There has to be a better, simpler solution.
Two apps that I have noticed this happening with are Apimac Timer and DivX Converter.

Answer 1

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the following:
tell application "app name"
set bounds of window 1 to {357, 296, 667, 511}
end tell
Insert the name of the application which controls the window between the quote marks in line 1. If this command moves the wrong window, increment the first number in line 2 until the correct one is targeted; you can also specify windows by name the same way the application's name is specified. This does not work with all windows and applications. The script can be run multiple times for different applications.
