I ran into this issue while validating a recent change committed against bug
553. I put some potentially relevant comments on that bug (comment 55), and
will copy them here as well:
--------------------
I noticed that [the new logic for re-positioning to keep the
upper-left corner visible] is not taking the taskbar into
account. If I place my taskbar at the top of the screen, wireshark's window
(including the entire title bar) can end up hidden by the M$ Windows taskbar.
To reproduce on an XP SP3 system (probably doesn't have to be multi-monitor):
1 - edit the recent_common file in the user's wireshark folder, and set
gui.geometry_main_y to a value larger than the bottom edge of the desktop (i.e.
set it to 1100 if your screen is 1280x1024).
2 - move the M$ windows taskbar to the top edge of the screen
3 - launch wireshark
4 - observe that the resulting wireshark window's title bar is now hiding
behind the taskbar.
I'd attempt to fix it myself, but I don't have a development environment setup,
and I have no experience developing Gtk-based UI code... I did find a post
from Gnome, that appears to have dealt with a similar issue in their Gtk-based
code:
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2011-November/msg00521.html. You
might also look at this post:
http://ntcoder.com/bab/2007/06/15/get-work-area-rectangle-along-with-main-rectangle-of-desktop/.
The basic change is that you'd need to find a way to access the monitor
geometry that uses the "rcWork" structure from the underlying GetMonitorInfo
call, rather than the "rcMonitor" structure. I don't know, however, if there's
a good way to do that while still following the normal coding constructs used
in the wireshark code-base.
