This is a known problem for all platforms. I already addressed it in an 
extension of TScreen, where the usable range of screen or monitor 
coordinates (BoundsRect?) could take into account a task bar - but this 
requires according support on all platforms.

Apart from that I'm still waiting for *full* support of negative display 
coordinates, as occur on my multi-monitor system :-(

+1 :-(

Half of the screen width would be sufficient on nowadys 16:9 wide 
flatscreens, with room for a full-height editor window beneath it.
