I am pretty sure that the Smalltalk windows (such as the Browser) are not Mac
windows; i.e there is just one Mac window here, the entire Smalltalk desktop.
If you shrink the desktop (hold down the option key and drag the mouse from the
lower right corner of the desktop you will resize that window and can probably
move the whole desktop onto the other monitor) but you definitely cannot just move
a Browser off the desktop.
