 decorator, maybe something different...

 I've seen this too for some time when switching decorators, but now (I
 suppose it started last week, using gcc2hybrid r42539 at the moment) the
 deskbar can also be resized to a tiny square (see deskbar_box.png), or
 wander off the screen almost completely (except for a thin bar, see
 deskbar_bar_menu.png). At the moment, it's also impossible (at least for
 me) to set a decorator (not that you would need to do so as - after the
 decorator restructuring work - S&T now also works with default decorator)
 - so that's no longer a trigger:

 {{{
 ~> setdecor -c
     Name      License       Description
 ----------------------------------------------------
 *Default        MIT       Default Haiku window decorator.
 ~> setdecor -l
     Name      License       Description
 ----------------------------------------------------
 *Default        MIT       Default Haiku window decorator.
 ClassicBe       MIT       Basic appearance of the classic BeOS.
 MacDecorator    MIT       MacOS 9
 SATDecorator    MIT       Default look with ability to stack & tile
 windows.
 WinDecorator    MIT       Windows 95
 ~> setdecor SATDecorator
 Setting SATDecorator as the current decorator...
 ~> setdecor -c
     Name      License       Description
 ----------------------------------------------------
 *Default        MIT       Default Haiku window decorator.
 ~> setdecor Default
 "Default" is already the current decorator
 }}}

 Removing Deskbar settings file didn't help either. After killing and
 restarting, deskbar is back where it should be, but then starts wandering
 off screen again. I can force deskbar back on screen e.g. by opening files
 or applications via terminal. It seems if the option "Auto-raise" is not
 enabled in deskbar preferences, deskbar only moves but usually isn't
 resized to a 4x4 box.
