Working with two identical screens, this seems like a feature to me. That 
way, I maintain full view of the schematic while working with the 
dialogs. Anyway, this should not be a problem, because current gschem 
remembers the position and size of the dialogs. Move the window kto 
whereever it suits your needs and gschem will remember even across 
sessions. 
IIRC, this was added about a year ago.

If you happen to use gnome, you can use an app called devilspie to 
manipulate windows on the fly.
