One caveat I'd like to point out...  when I do this on my 2-montor setup,
the window gets neatly centered within the entire display space.  That's
right, the window is half on one screen and half on another.  I haven't
figured out a fix for this, but evidently Blyth has, at least internally--
their "about" box no longer comes up neatly split across my two screens,
but instead centered in my "main" monitor!
