Sorry for the delay. I was out of town for a while.

I tried the new trunk and the first summon worked as it should. Second
summon put it almost centered vertically and along the left side of
the right monitor. I then closed it with the [X] on Cardapio itself
and after that it always spawns center center without decorations (as
in the screenshot) ...

So, no luck basically...
