Comment 5 for bug 167714

I am a wannabe user of Inkscape. I would like to change from
CorelDraw to Inkscape, but I am writing here in STRONG
support to classify this issue as a high priority BUG.

I would like to describe my own experience which keeps me
from using Inkscape at all.

I just downloaded Inkscape and wanted to try it, but most
dialog windows are shown off-screen with only a very small
amount being on-screen.

I am not loading any "garbage" SVG (because I cannot see the
OpenFile dialog). E.g. I just wanted to save a drawing, edit
some settings and all of these dialogs are shown partly
off-screen and I can't move them on-screen in any way (there
is no SVG I could hand-edit, no property-file I can find).

So for me, I can't use Inkscape at the moment at all.

Now my (maybe unusual) configuration:
Windows XP SP2
NVIDIA GeForce FX5700 in DualView mode
Two DVI Monitors (IBM L200p) in 1600x1200
one monitor is landscape, the other portrait

I really would like to give Inkscape a try but for that I
need to be able to USE it. Please insert some sanity check
for all window/dialog positioning SOON and make this a high
prio BUG.
