[Paraview] lost Pipeline Browser window off screen: OS X

Hi,

I'm using a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 and Paraview 3.6.1 and I've run into 
the following problem.  I typically dualscreen my Macbook with an external 
monitor, and I generally keep the Pipeline Browser and Object Inspector on 
the external monitor, i.e. I've taken them out of the left pane.

Today I went to show my co-workers my data, having only my Macbook with no 
external monitor.  Paraviews remembers its state, so when I opened 
Paraview the Pipeline Browser and Object Inspector were in seperate 
windows, both completely off-screen.  I couldn't see or access these 
windows to drag them back on-screen (they don't show up in Expose.) 
Simply turning them off/on using the View menu had no effect.

Is there a way I can bring the Pipeline Browser, Object Inspector, etc. 
windows back in the left pane without being able to drag them?

While it wasn't a big deal today, I could see this being a total disaster 
if I were giving a talk.

Thanks,
Keith
