** Description changed:

  many windows are opening partially offscreen, some are opening with
  almost no vertical component (thus needing stretching out), some warp

  background
  my monitor setup is strange, monitor1 is top, monitor2 is below & slightly 
left

- this was first noticed with pcmanfm-qt which would 'jump' or 'warp' (star 
trek warp) to a new location not fully on either monitor & sometimes partially 
off-screen when I selected a new partition (device in left pane)  see

  to aid in that bug report, I started taking screen-captures which caused
  lximage-qt to load, I maximized the window expecting it to go fullscreen
  on monitor2, instead of using all of monitor2 it would use full width
  but only about 1/8th of height of the monitor (ie. very little
  vertical).
  
  i started `ubuntu-bug pcmanfm-qt` for aforementioned pcmanfm-qt warp
  issue, it opened firefox which opened squashed on top of monitor2 like
  lximage-qt was...
  
  i wanted my hw specs I list in qa-test reporting (on another system so I
  was going to ssh to it) so opened terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and qterminal
  opens on monitor1 but with more than half off-screen
  
  ** issues
  
  - windows are strangely behaving when I maximize on monitor2 (lximage-
  qt, firefox, qterminal etc. they all go full-width bu tonly use 1/8th of
  vertical space of the monitor
  
  - some windows are opening off-screen, esp. qterminal using ctrl+alt+t
  
  - some windows warp on some functions & end up, part displayed on one
  monitor, some on my other monitor and parts on neither (off-screen);
  pcmanfm-qt
  
  - even adding attachments in firefox can
  
  If I use maximize on monitor1 all behavior is as expected.  I'm getting
  strange behavior only on my second monitor for maximize (which is my
  preferred for this setup with).  It's probably appearing off-screen
  because my monitors aren't aligned perfectly (my strange setup).
  
  Even on entering `ubuntu-bug` for this lp.repot, firefox (which was
  already open & displayed fully on monitor2 (lower) - the firefox window
  warped or jumped so the top was on monitor1, the bulk of it on monitor2
  and part now offscreen.
  
  lots of screen images
