Bug Description

On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS at least LibreOffice Writer and Gimp can start with their title bars hidden behind the top bar.

See attached screenshots.

Since the title bar is out of reach it's not obvious how to drag the window down if one does not know that you can alt drag windows to move them.
