Menu
I have a dual monitor setup, and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I have changed the positioning of the monitors several times, and now for some reason some of the windows open up off-screen (outside of both screens), Update Manager, for instance. How can I position the windows on one of my screens?

In Ubuntu 16.04 you can move any window without titlebar by pressing the Alt key and click+hold+move everywhere inside the window.
Move a window by dragging the titlebar, or hold down Super and drag anywhere in the window. Hold down Shift while moving to snap the window to the edges of the screen and other windows. Resize a window by dragging the edges or corner of the window.
You can get the window back on your screen by using
ALT + spacebar
This would show you the maximize/minimize/ ... options. Click maximize and it would occupy your screen.
You can also hit "move" and then either your mouse or arrow keys to move the window to your current window.

Be sure to have the off-screen window selected (use Alt-Tab or Super-W for example). Then hold Alt+F7 and move the window with the cursor keys until it appears in the viewport.
When this happens to me the hidden window is usually below the screen (I occasionally use two screens with one on top of the other, a setup that agrees well with a laptop on a desk). If you use Super-W to select the window, you can guess where it is by looking at the animations. Holding Alt+F7+Up brings the window into view for me.
Cheers.
