A while ago I put together a proof of concept using Pivot to 'simulate' a MS Windows type of desktop & taskbar setup. I ran into essentially the same issue where I needed the maximized 'application' windows to maximize without covering the 'taskbar' at the bottom of the screen.
>From memory, I think all that was needed was a pretty simple modification in something like org.apache.pivot.wtk.skin.WindowSkin or org.apache.pivot.wtk.skin.terra.TerraFrameSkin which would limit the maximized size & take care of any x/y positioning.
