On Xubuntu v14.04 I had an issue with some windows starting under the panels, so the top of them could not be displayed. It was really annoying for those apps that had menus that I couldn't reach (with my mouse) or see.

This page helped me find a solution:

This was the code I used to fix it so that windows would start correctly:

timothy@kb0odu:~$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/disable-struts true
timothy@kb0odu:~$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/disable-struts -t bool -n -s false
timothy@kb0odu:~$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-0/disable-struts false
timothy@kb0odu:~$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-1/disable-struts true
timothy@kb0odu:~$ xfconf-query -c xfce4-panel -p /panels/panel-1/disable-struts -t bool -n -s false
timothy@kb0odu:~$

I had to run the code for both panel-0 (top panel) and panel-1 (the bottom panel).
