Comment 4 for bug 716521

This is probably the same bug, so I'll post here rather than opening a new report (feel free to correct me on this).
The behaviour I noticed is the following:

Use Ctrl-Alt-T to open a terminal. Terminal will appear with its window decorations 90% underneath the top panel.

This also occurs with other windows that don't automatically maximise on netbook; for example, the System Settings.
