 Replying to [comment:5 gk]:
 > Could you test that (i.e. disable the taskbar by default enabling it
 only when you hover over it with your mouse)? Maybe disabling this
 extension might shed some light on this problem, too...


 Yes, window size is appropriate under these conditions:

 PrefBar can be hidden/restored with <F8>.

 I killed *devilspie*.  I hid PrefBar.  I selected TBB "New Identity."  TBB
 went away and came back with a window slightly smaller that fit within the
 screen boundaries.

 I restored PrefBar, but the window size remained the same as before.

 Leaving PrefBar restored, I select TBB "New Identity" then, but, when TBB
 comes back, it's window is deeper by the height of the PrefBar, and the
 bottom edge of the screen obscures the bottom edge of its window.
