Hmm, this is harder than I first thought.

Presumably (frame-position) returns nonsensical values on your
portrait monitor, and (set-frame-position nil 0 0) also plants the
frame in the wrong place (ie. not the top left)?

Can you try changing that last line of NS_PARENT_WINDOW_TOP_POS to
return

    NSScreen.screens[0].frame.size.height

I *think* that should set the top left of the primary screen as (0,
0). If that works for this, there may be other places where we’re
using window.screen that we’ll have to change to use the primary
screen, but I’m not really sure.

I wonder if it’ll break when ‘screens have separate spaces’ is turned
on...? :/

Almost anything seems to work here, but I’m not using multiple
monitors.
