Odd, since it does for me and was something I didn't know about before, so thanks Darac :) But as there seems to be some doubt as to whether you are actually using XFCE, here's the technique I used until today and that works with any DE that I've used. AIUI, the problem is that your TBird window is too tall and spills off the bottom of the screen so you can't grab it to shrink it. So what I do is grab the TOP of the window and move it down, thus shrinking the height of the window. Then I grab the the title bar and move the top of the window back up to the top of the screen. I repeat that if necessary until I can see the bottom of the window on screen. Once I can see it, I can adjust it however I like. HTH, Dave
