OK, being the person who maintains this part of the stack, I'm going to try and see what's going on here, because I see a number of factors at play. So I have some questions to ask :)
1. First of all, is the problem you're describing that windows are being created at a larger size than your screen size, and thus you can't interact with the bottom of the window because it isn't on-screen 2. Can you resize said windows to a *smaller* size at all (eg, by using the resizable grip area on the top of the window) Also, let me know the applications and the screen resolutions for which this is a problem. I've got a lot of tasks on my list right now but I'll try to get to this one within the next week.
