Thanks to Everthon's tip I think I found where the problem was.
Before deleting the file as suggested, I opened it to watch if there were some interesting values.
I found the [mainwindow] group very interesting:

[mainwindow]
size=@Size(1540 797)
pos=@Point(-406 121)

Looks like the starting window size is fixed in the config file, but that negative value in pos seems wrong.
Then I tried to delete the 2 lines but the problem was not resolved.
keep watching the file I found a very long name stored in the [upload] group:

[upload]
imdbHistory\6\imdbId=0455275
imdbHistory\6\title="\"Prison Break\" (2005) (TV series) \xc2\xa0\x61ka \"Prison Break: Manhunt\" - USA (second season title) \xc2\xa0\x61ka \"Prison Break: On the Run\" - Australia (second season title) \xc2\xa0-\xc2\xa0Season 4, Episode 2:"

So I deleted the two rows and Subdownloader now starts in a normal window, smaller than my screen size e fully resizable. Problem solved!
I've tried to keep the strange values in [mainwindow] but delete the long name in [upload] and Subdowloader started without the previous problems and corrected the config file automatically.

Hope this helps the devs.
