The windowmanager Slate supports doing this kind of thing. You can create profiles (layout's) specific to a given situation, e.g. 1 monitor or 2 monitors, and specify how the windos should be organized (google chrome full screen on main screen, mail full screen on laptop screen, etc).

In addition to this feature, Slate has a truckload of other features. I would recommend skimming the documentation, but first read this blog post by Tristan Hume. A blog post I wrote about slate might also be interesting.

This has been fixed in Mavericks. To control on which display an application's windows appear, move your cursor to the Dock icon for that application. Right-click (or Ctrl-click) on the icon, then select Options > Desktop on Display 1 (or 2). You also have the option to assign to all desktops or to none.
