Ride should check the available hardware before establishing its main GUI somewhere invisible

[aplteam]

I used Ride on my machine but in a different place. There were two monitors; the right one was the main one.

I moved the Ride window to the left one, and when I called it a day, I closed Ride and shut down my machine.

Back home I attached my own (very large) monitor. In fact my monitor is larger than the two monitors mentioned earlier together.

That did not help: when I started Ride, nothing appeared to happen. It turned out that Ride re-established the window on its last position. Those were negative because the left screen was not the main screen. As a result the window was invisible to me.

Before re-establishing its main GUI, Ride should check the current configuration. If the last position Ride was closed from is currently not covered by a monitor, it should center the GUI on the main monitor, as most applications do these days.

It does not matter much , but I am using:
