Hi Matthew!

Yes, I'm afraid this is the approach of professional applications. 

I had the same problem on various Ubuntus on recycled machines and tiny
screens. Here are my workarounds:

1. 
To move the window upward, hold the _Alt_ key and drag the central part
of the window. Dragging the top bar won't work.

2. 
If you can't drag the window this way, open a terminal and type
`gconf-editor` to open the _Configuration Editor_ window. Navigate to
`apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options` and uncheck `constrain_y`.
You should now be able to Alt-drag and move the _Preferences_ window.

3. 
If you still have no luck instead of clicking OK you can press the ENTER
key.

4.
To enable the possibility of setting a duration for the imported images
you need to edit the `Cinelerra_rc` text file contained in the `.bcast`
folder. It's easy and painless.

Open a terminal and type:

 gedit .bcast/Cinelerra_rc

Search for the text:

 SI_USEDURATION 0
 SI_DURATION 5.000000e+00

In the first line replace 0 (= function disabled) with 1 (= function
enabled).

The number 5 in the second line is the duration (in seconds) the images
will have when loaded on the timeline. Type a different value if needed.



Hope it helps.

Ciao!
Raffaella
