Package: openbox
Version: 3.4.11.1-1
Severity: minor

If openbox is set up with a panel on the top edge of the screen very few
programs are placed incorrectly when started the first time in that way, that
the window doesn't respect the panel and will be placed on the top edge of the
screen, meaning that its menu bar will be hidden underneath the panel. If I
move the application window to the correct position I can close the window or
terminate the application completely, the next time I bring it up again the
window has the correct position - until I reboot.
The programs with this problem I identified so far are ktorrent and torcs. All
others I use work fine and respect the panels. These fine working programs
include kolourpaint (so nothing KDE related) and rhythmbox (so no general
problem with programs that start iconified).

It also doesn't matter which panel or distribution is used. I first found the
effect on Debian Squeeze with Gnome where I replaced metacity with openbox, but
I could reproduce it with Lubuntu 10.04
and openSuse 11.3 where I use a plain LXDE installation with openbox and
lxpanel.
Interestingly the size of the window is correct, it is just displaced. If the
application is started with a maximized window and it is placed too high, there
is a gap on the bottom of the window
that has the height of the upper panel.

This bug might be related to #551807 but I'm not sure.
