There is some code in XWin which attempts to ensure that the window is
placed somewhere visible, but that assumes that the Window virtual

GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYVIRTUALSCREEN).
I think it should be pretty straightforward to change this, perhaps to
use MonitorFromPoint() to determine if the window will be visible on a
non-rectangular virtual desktop.
I've built a snapshot with this change. Perhaps you could try that and
see if it improves things for you?
