hmm - does the app remember its own window locations? which app is this? i
suspect the app may be remembering its own  geometry and thus it places itself
offscreen. in this case tell e to remember position and set up locks to lock out
application ability to change its location and remember locks. not much to be
done about such stupid apps (thus the lost windows menu for just these apps) :)
