I have to say I have never seen this problem - but I haven't tried it
recently.
If its such a problem then why not handle the staggering stuff yourself?
If you did this then perhaps you could include code that tried to avoid the
problem with changing screen resolutions.
e.g. You could stagger windows from top-left to bottom-right until they
would still be visible on a 640x480 monitor and the start a new stack at the
top-left but a bit further down and so on.
An even better idea might be this:
Write a method that gets called in a window's activate event that checks the
coordinates of all open windows and displays a message that means:
"Dear user, you have just activated a window but are you sure its the one
you want ? - because there are at least 2 others you can't see at the
moment"!!
Cheers,
Ian.
