Those of you lucky enough to have multiple monitors hooked up to you MacBook or MacBook Pro when you work may have come across this issue. When you remove that extra monitor some applications don't get re-positioned back on to your laptop display. I had this with one particular application that I use frequently, KeePassX. Well somewhere along the way I dug up this use full terminal/apple script that solves the issue.

 
property processesToIgnore : {}
tell application "Finder"
	set _b to bounds of window of desktop
	set screen_width to item 3 of _b
	set screen_height to item 4 of _b
end tell
tell application "System Events"
	set allProcesses to application processes
	set _results to ""
	repeat with i from 1 to count allProcesses
		set doIt to 1
		repeat with z from 1 to count processesToIgnore
			if process i = process (item z of processesToIgnore) then
				set doIt to 0
			end if
		end repeat
		if doIt = 1 then
			tell process i
				repeat with x from 1 to (count windows)
					set winPos to position of window x
					set _x to item 1 of winPos
					set _y to item 2 of winPos
					if (_x < 0 or _y < 0 or _x > screen_width or _y > screen_height) then
						set position of window x to {0, 22}
					end if
				end repeat
			end tell
		end if
	end repeat
end tell
 

I don't recall where I may have dug this up, but if you think you know, please let me know in the comments so I can give credit.
