Where does Parallels store window locations?

    Hello,

    I'm having some real trouble on a multi-monitor setup in Mavericks. My VMs keep starting up "offscreen" - I can get them by either going to Window->Zoom of the VM I can't see immediately after starting it, or rearranging my monitors in Displays->Arrangement (usually the VM ends up off to the right hand side, so if I drag the left monitor to the right, I can see it, then drag it back).
    I suspect some multi-monitor API has changed in Mavericks and Parallels just needs updating for it.

    But anyway, question is, where does Parallels store the saved position of the VM window? Even after I move it and then quit, on the next start it goes back to this offscreen position, I want to try removing whatever position Parallels has saved to start this VM window in and see if that helps any. I had a look through config.pvs in the VM package directory but didn't spot anything obvious.

    Experimenting a bit further it seems this is related to the new Mavericks option "Displays have separate spaces". If this is turned off, normal behaviour is resumed.
