OK, maybe this would help a little.
Launched JBuilder and did xprop and xwininfo on the "Tip of the Day"
dialog that appears first (greatly and incorrectly oversized)
Blackbox version is 0.65b2, X screen resolution is 1024x768 (24bit).
I did not move, resize or touch anything before doing these commands.
