Thanks for the info. I think that what is happening is this:
1) With an analog display, OS X may treat the display the same way as
if it was disconnected when you put your Mac to sleep.
2) Then, when you wake up the Mac and thus the screen, OS X sends a
notification to apps like Remote Buddy (that registered for the event
that the screen configuration was changed) that the screen
configuration changed. That notification is usually sent by OS X up to
a few seconds before a resolution change actually takes place.
Therefore, Remote Buddy will wait a couple of seconds (5 if I recall
correctly) before requesting the current screen size and recenter its
menu - but it won't wait as long as 15 seconds.
3) If your screen needs this long to come up, chances are that at the
time Remote Buddy asks OS X for the current screen resolution and OS X
returns 1 x 1 pixels (instead of f.ex. 1024 x 768). Which in turn
makes RB re-center its menu using that data, which is at position 0 :
0. In OS X coordinate system, 0 : 0 is located at the bottom left of
the screen.
Does your display have a DVI input that you could connect your Mac to
instead? Chances are this reduces wake-up time of your display - or at
least the time needed by OS X to identify the display.
