Evince default window position

Question

I have an Arch Linux desktop machine with 2 monitors and 4 workspaces.

On the last workspace I usually have Firefox loaded on the left monitor to access Zimbra mail. While on the right monitor I have a VirtualBox running Windows.

Whenever I open a PDF from Zimbra, it always opens on the right monitor in evince and disappears behind the VirtualBox window. I have to right-click the task bar button and chose 'Move' to move the window to the left monitor.

I cannot find any settings that I can change so that the default position of evince is on the left monitor. Can anyone point me to somewhere that I can set this default position?

The left monitor is the 'main' one with the main menu bar at the top and the task bar at the bottom.

It's getting so annoying that I'm seriously looking for an alternative PDF viewer. If anyone knows of a better one, then I'd be happy to move to it.

Answer 1

OK, after a bit more Googling I've found a solution to my specific use case.

If I enable PDF previews in Firefox, I can now see the PDF as another tab within Firefox. A lot better.

However, this doesn't really answer the main question about how to make evince open in a specific default position on the screen, so I'm not going to mark my answer as the main answer.
