MC project opens with split windows

Using trial version of MC 5.5.3.
I have a Mac Pro system with dual cinema displays. I'm looking for the preferences or settings control so I can merge all windows on to one monitor (for now) so I can learn this app a little easier. Right now, upon booting the program, before I create a new project, the composer and the timeline window is split off into my second monitor. As soon as I confirm and create the new project, these windows disappear and only my timeline window remains in my main monitor. The bin window and some others are scattered around. Can't find info on how or where these things are set.

thx

Welp, got a little direction from the Avid forum. Was a bit disappointed to see that, evidently, the interface does not come up and snap to when you first open it. As far as I can tell, the windows don't have a snap value at all, unlike FC windows. I had to find, grab, size, etc... my composer, timeline and project windows and "save current" under the tools drop down window. I can still see my desktop behind certain areas. Not the end of the world but a little under-whelming for such a prestigious program I'd say...

Avid does seem to have its own way of doing things. And the UI design is, well, not their strong suit.

From the preview screenshot, the MC 6 interface seems like it will be a lot more modern.

I just noticed something - it's running on a Mac but the "close" buttons on all of the windows are on the right-hand side. I was hoping MC6 would be more Mac-like but this makes me less optimistic now.

My software:
Pro Maintenance Tools - Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise
Pro Media Tools - Edit QuickTime chapters and metadata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more
More tools...

I noticed that too. Hopefully that won't be the case with the release version.
