Comment (by pulkomandy):

Is a new API method that detects whether a BWindow is present within the
 coordinates of the screen desirable? This goes beyond my solution for
 Icon-O-Matic, but I just wanted to open up this side-subject on the side.

 There is already a BWindow::MoveOnScreen: https://git.haiku-
 os.org/haiku/tree/headers/os/interface/Window.h#n179

 We could just add that to all apps that have problems with their windows
 ending up offscreen.

P.S. Should I proceed with developing this Icon-O-Matic concept further?

 Yes.
