Comment (by humdinger):
I think you're right that it's apps restoring saved positions without
checking if that position is actually currently visible. For example, open
DiskProbe, choose "Probe file..." and move the dialog to the bottom right
corner of the screen (assuming you have a sane resolution like 1650x1080).
Now close it and change resolution to 800x600. Do the same again and you
won't see the dialog, as that's now outside the screen.
Question is, instead of fixing every app to check the visibility of saved
coordinates, can we tell the app_server to automagically move windows into
visibility when created/shown? Or add a flag for that when creating a
window and have file dialogs use it by default?
