Glad to see your name Dave, I hope you're on the mend!
I noticed that unmaximizing, then re-maximizing seems to clear up the
mis-alignment. However, I've been doing this for more than 10 years
and never noticed this offset before... Anyway..
Marcel, yes, -iconic means to start it minimized. It appears as a
button in the tint2 taskbar, so its easy to see the multi-processing
part of the system working during that time (buttons appearing and
disappearing) but without disturbing working in another window if I
want.
