Dialogs open on wrong monitor in multi monitor setup (Windows)

Window management

-

Dialogs are opened on the main monitor.

EXPECTED:
Dialogs should open on the monitor with Unity's main window.

REPRO:
1. Make sure to have a dual monitor setup
2. Position, and maximise Unity's main window on the secondary monitor
3. Open any dialog (preferences, build settings, ...)
4. Observe the dialog popup on the main monitor

    Still happens for me on Windows 10 (in Desktop mode, Metro is worthless).

    Basic window management is postponed??? It should take somebody like five minutes to fix this.

    The situation is made even worse by the fact that the draggable tab/title-bar area of the window is always overlapping (below) the Windows Task Bar. It is very aggravating to have to change the Task Bar to auto-hide, then very quickly grab the Unity window and move it (quickly because the task bar will attempt to un-hide when I move my mouse into that area), then go back and turn off Task Bar auto-hide.
