My Application is Opening Out of the Desktop Area

  • Press Alt+Space, which brings up a popup menu displayed in the viewable desktop.
  • Press M, which selects "Move" in the menu.
  • Press one of the Arrow keys, no matter which one.
  • Move mouse, and the hidden dialog will show up all in a sudden under the mouse cursor.
