It is not possible to move a windows so that its top go above the top of
the screen. This is a serious problem for windows (usually dialogs) that
are too high for current screen resolution. This make impossible to
modify some options and to press OK button in many dialogs.

In some older version this problem was solved, but now it is here again.
