Wireshark uses the GTK+ toolkit for GUI operations and it has some issues on
Windows systems when the displays are not the same.  I thought I had worked
around all of the possible issues when I fixed bug #553
(https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=553) last year (SVN
revision 34265:
http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/gtk/gui_utils.c?r1=34265&r2=34264&pathrev=34265)
where I put this comment "Per Wireshark bug #553, GTK has a problem on MS
Windows where the upper-left corner of the window may appear off screen when 
when a single desktop spans multiple monitors of different  resolutions and
positions relative to each other.  If the requested (x,y) position isn't within
the monitor's viewable area, change it to the viewable area's (0,0)"

The issue in bug #553 was where monitors had different resolutions and
positions relative to each other, but I never considered one monitor being
vertical and one horizontal, which might be the issue in this bug.
