I usually work with an additional monitor plugged into my Powerbook at home, but not at work.
If I accidentally leave anything open on the external monitor before disconnecting everything, on restoring the affected application the window is pulled onto screen. That is to say, if at any time the desktop area is reduced, windows readjust their position so not to be lost.
TextMate doesn't seem to be doing this.
I connected up my external monitor this evening to find a window that had been 'lost' all day!

Hmm, I use dual head on my ibook and if I pull the monitor plug out textmate does come back to the LCD screen though it's size is a little wonky. It looks like it does try to resize but that perhaps it's not taking the size of the drawer into account. It's not positioned perfectly zoomed, as it was on the monitor screen (which is of a higher resolution than the LCD). That's my experience anyway.

Scott,
Are you talking about mirroring the screen or extending it to the bigger screen? As far as I remember iBook was only able to mirror the screen, not to extend it.

haHA by "default", you are right. Apple merely crippled that function in some of the ibooks. However, it can be gotten around on some ibooks (I have a 1.2GHz G4) and you can indeed extend the screen. It's very nice indeed.

You can do "extending" on any white iBook with an appropriate video card by applying a small hack (twiddling some bits in NVram). There is even a little app that does it now. I've used it many times on my old iBook g3 900 and on my new iBook G4 1GHz.
