I agree with all of the sentiments here. It's simply staggering that so much effort is having to be spent to make developers accept that this is a usability issue - pure and simple. On a 24" screen at 1920x1200, I cannot see the top right corner of the screen at all when working in a window on the left side. When I *do* glance over to the right, it's to the bottom of the screen where my panel and notification area is. (Big hint there guys.. *notification area*).

In the time wasted by developers attempting to justify the unjustifiable in this - and other - bug reports, they could have added the option to move the location already. It's crass, idiotic, and downright insulting to even *think* you know better than your target audience, let alone come right out and say it. I hope you guys that are spouting or defending this rubbish never have to earn a living writing software for paying customers (as I do). You think the abuse you're getting here is bad..?
