The best solution is to let the window manager place the window in the 
absence of any specific placement instructions from the user, as the 
window manager knows all about which areas on the desktop are hidden 
behind taskbars, sidebars and any other desktop furniture that may be 
invented in future. That is the way it has always worked on X, and is 
the way it works now on MS-Windows.
