I raised the second monitor, then adjusted the arrangement in Mac OSX prefs. It
changed everything
I hide to fiddle with
set the topleft of stack "revMenuBar" to 0,22
save stack "revMenuBar"
put locations didn’t stick on reboot....
so I wiped ~/Library/RunRev/##preferencesA##
reboot, then it change
We should not need to wipe the preferences just to set up for new a monitor
arrangement
Definitely could use a command for this
