This is apparently a bug in metacity. See bugzilla #1288.  My screen
resolution is 1024x768, and I see this problem quite a bit (running
warty).  Some programs come up with the bottom of the window below the
lower panel, and the top already flush against the top panel, so you
can't simply move the window up to grab the bottom and resize.  One
workaround that I've learned to use is the -geometry option that is
available in many commands, eg. "xdvi -geometry 680x684".
