gedit opens at zero height, with no buffer open. gucharmap behaves the same way as gnome-terminal (i.e. gets shortened to fit and moved fully onto the screen).
I was using Breezy before Dapper. I don't know if it's relevant, but I've since played around with xgl/compiz a bit (now back to Metacity) and that had different problems with gnome-session. So this could actually be a Metacity bug. -- partially off-screen windows restored in the wrong place/size https://launchpad.net/bugs/48058 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
