Mick,
For the oversized window, I've had that issue for some apps since
before Tiger. The solution I use is to constrain the maximum window
size in the X11 plist:
defaults write org.x.X11 wm_limit_size -boolean true
The restart X11.
At for me and the apps I've seen the oversize windows in, they will
now get created with a scroll bar and the resize gadget will be
accessible.
Hopefully, this will work in your app as well.

Hi,
I'm running 2.3.1_rc1 on my MacBook Pro which has an external
monitor above the laptop screen and the menu bar is on the top of
the external monitor. I'm by no means an X11 expert, so apologies in
advance for my non-technical description. I'm ssh'ed into my linux
box and displaying all the windows of a CAD tools suite back onto my
Mac. The CAD tools I'm running are by definition somewhat buggy
(because they're Cadence tools) so who knows who's fault this one
is. It's also the first time I've tried this command so I don't know
if the issue I'm seeing is specific to 2.3.1_rc1.
I picked a menu item from one of the Cadence windows that brought up
a form to be filled out. The form was so big that it started from
just below the menu bar on the external monitor and extended all the
way down to just BELOW the bottom of the laptop screen (the resize
handle on the bottom right of the form could not be accessed). I
needed to fill out stuff on the bottom of the form and I couldn't
get at it! The green button in the traffic lights on the top left of
the form's title bar did not light up when I hovered the mouse over
it.
To me, it seems like the TOTAL height of both my screens was sent to
the Cadence suite for the purposes of drawing that form i.e. the
height was not reduced by the space taken up by the Mac's menu bar.
In addition, if I drag the big form's title bar up so that it bumps
into the menu bar, the form instantly disappears from the top
monitor and reappears below on the laptop's monitor such that the
form's title bar is at the top of the laptop screen but the mouse is
still near the top of the external monitor.
I've probably done a lousy job explaining this because I'm no X11
guru. I attached a picture of a slice of the dual monitor setup
showing the big form. I just know someone is going to ask me to
reinstall the previous X11 and try all this again...
Thanks,
Mick
