You have been subscribed to a public bug:
After login, desktop icons are forced into the top 2/3 of the screen. On open
of any application, Firefox, Gedit, etc, the screen is maximized, but only
fills 2/3 of the screen. Minimize/re-maximize has no effect.
Valid workarounds include logging out and back in, or changing the
refresh rate on the screen resolution from 60 to 70 and back again. Fix
only holds up until the next reboot.
System is dual-core Asus/Athlon Pentium 64, Monitor is 17" Sceptre CRT.
