Yes, that's exactly the sort of problem that's driven me away from Wine for
Quicken.  In that case, every time I try to create an invoice (and some
other pop up windows, but that's the main one), the window pops up at a
very tiny size, and seems to go in a loop of being over/under the other
window.  Windowing just doesn't always work as it should.
