All,
We have always been working to improve the reliability of Fences placement. What has made this incredibly difficult are all the variables that are involved:
Quantity of monitors
Connection types
DPI \ Scale \Resolution
Waking from sleep \ hibernate states
Evolution of Windows itself and how it manages items on the desktop
That said, we have something in the early stages that may address most cases for most people and we are willing to have some try it.
NOTE: As stated, this is an early build. While internal tests have been VERY promising, no one should install this on a PC if they are not willing to do considerable work to resolve unforeseen issues. It's not going to set a PC on fire or nuke files but it may involve a manual reconstruction of what's on the desktop.
The build:

Post-install \ reboot (<-important):
Backups -> Store my layout on a per-monitor-configuration basis
We are anxious to hear how this works to resolve your reported issues.
Regards,
Sean Drohan
Stardock Product Lifecycle Manager
