10.5: Avoid an X11/quartz-wm window position bug

Quartz-wm no longer keeps windows from sliding under the menu bar at the top of the window. You can now stuff the title bar of the window up under the menu bar of the screen and loose the ability to move the window back out again. Grrr.

The solution? Run a different window manager (the venerable twm comes with Apple's X11) and set the title bar height larger than the menu bar height.
