The first thing that comes to mind is that you can move the frame by
modifying frame-parameters.

Here is a simple command that I use to resize and reposition a frame:

(defun le::reset-frame ()
  "when a bigger second monitor is disconnected, this is requireda
to bring back the window controls into
view."
  (interactive)
  (set-frame-size (selected-frame) 146 41)
  (set-frame-position (selected-frame) 0 0))


I'm not familiar with this error message, the I last built the ns build a
few months ago without problems. I've since moved on to the Mac build,
which is better in EVERY way for me, so maybe you can try that?  It's a
little bit more involved of a build process, but the end result has a much
more "Mac" feel than the ns build.  The ns build also crashed with
"anything" completion usage for me several times a day, which has never
happened with the Mac build.
