Thanks. I see that I can discover what screen a widget is mostly on with
int QDesktopWidget::screenNumber ( const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qdesktopwidget.html#screenNumber

But how can I move a window to a screen, or say that it should appear
there when it is shown? The class documentation says "Applications can
use this classs ... to place child widgets on one screen."

I don't see anything suitable in QMainWindow, QWidget, or QApplication
either.
