my only query now is how do I programaticaly find out
the offset of my second monitor, as I have it slightly
raised from the primary, as opposed to simply placed side
by side.

If you're asking just to set up your machine once, the simplest
thing to do is open up the Display properties, and click-hold on
the 2nd monitor, it should then display the (X,Y) position in it.
Since it's raised you should have a negative Y position, which does
work OK with the checked-in patch.
Programmatically, I like AGO's @<monitor> idea...
