Bastion opens on wrong monitor, what should I do?

Question

When playing Bastion (demo), the game opens full-screen on a monitor which isn't my primary monitor, unlike any other game. What should I do? I've found a work-around (which I have posted below), but I hope there's a better solution to the problem.

System is Windows 7 64-bit. I'm launching the game through Steam.

Also, seems like I'm not the only one with this problem. The makers have responded in this thread:

Q: I have a multi-monitor, Eyefinity, or multi-graphics card setup, and the game is crashing or experiencing issues. What should I do?

A: Please try disabling this type of setup and see if it resolves the issue. We are investigating specific cases for possible updates.

Answer

So far I've found a work-around:

1. In the main menu of Bastion, go to Help & Options -> Display.
2. Uncheck "Fullscreen".
3. Drag the window to the correct monitor. The window can be dragged by taking the mouse cursor to the very top of the current monitor (where there is a thin white line), then dragging.
4. Click the "Fullscreen" option again.

From this point on, the game can be played full-screen on the correct monitor; unfortunately it resets to the incorrect monitor when quitting and running the game again, so this work-around has to be applied every time the game is launched.
