I went and tested on a machine running Ubuntu 9.10.
First time I ran it, the bottom of the font was about 10 pixels down
from the top left corner of the screen. I used command window to change
its position. Then I closed it. There after it ran perfectly. I guess it
saved the preferences.
On Ubuntu 8.10 machine if I add Bottom=0 then I get a similar result in
the display. But if I have no positioning it vanishes. Is it possible
that it has somehow a value that positions it off screen?
