Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome

I have Ubuntu 9.10 (with all available updates installed) on an ASUS eeePC 1005HA netbook. Its display is rather small (10", resolution is 1024x600), smaller than many applications' windows are. When app window is too large to fit the screen, the following problem occurs: when I click on any control inside the window, the window itself "jumps" up/down (if height is too big) or left/right (if width is too big). I cannot drag the window: clicking its header just causes that "jumping", maximize/minimize/close buttons do not work as well.
This bug is extremly annoying and makes many GUI applications unusable.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Ubuntu 9.10 on a computer with a small display (like eeePC 1005HA)
2. Install application with a large main window (verified, e.g., on Eric and QtCreator)
3. Verify that part of the application window is outside the screen
4. Try dragging the window or clicking its controls to see it "jumping"

** Affects: meta-gnome2 (Ubuntu)
