Edward and I have 1024x768 laptops and I've run up against user
submitted models that have the _windowsProperty attribute set
such that the window is placed off the edge of the screen.
I think this can also happen when the user has a two headed display.
The fix is to
ptolemy/actor/gui/WindowPropertiesAttribute.java

> y = (y > tk.getScreenSize().height

I'm not sure if this should go into the release branch or not.
Technically, it is a bug, because it is easy to have a model that will
not appear on the user's screen if the user has a small screen.
