@kevin:
I had a chat with Matthew who is working on the MIR spec. One of the
suggestions I had was to reposition the windows after a reboot. The ideal case
would be to show the full window to the user, positioned as close as possible
to its previous "off-screen" position. Many people, myself included, close and
re-open apps because a window was moved too far out of view. In most cases this
window is displayed fully on screen, close to the previous position.
That might solve part of the problem, at least after a reboot of the
device. The indicator issue is part of an other bug, as mentioned above.

Bug description:
somewhat related to bug 1488852
so the dialer app is currently treated like any other window in terms of
movement, you can move the dialer app to the point where the dialer application
window is not seen "hanging of the screen" so only the title bar of the
application is visible.
Also, if the device reboots, this will be the remembered location of the
window.
Concern was that the user might move offscreen and struggle to find it
quickly for "ending call" or entering numbers at a prompt or changing
from loudspeaker to earpiece or wanting to hit mute.
It was discussed whether or not the dialer application should become a
"special" application/surface to disallow having any portion of the window
being moved offscreen ? Or is this completely ok - e.g. the user wanted to do
it and should be allowed to.
Or should the green banner of the dialer app in the shell be used to bring
the dialer app back on screen ?
