    I can't move the mercury messenger window because for some reason the top portion of it is behind its menu at the top. See the picture and you'll know what I mean.

    What do I do? This looks terribly stupid.

    Good advice for Windows - I remember having to do that fairly often.

    But the guy was talking about OS X.

    err, what's the win key, and which side of the tab key? By win you mean option? In any case, I pressed both keys beside ctrl (fn and alt/option) + tab, nothing happens.

    k half an hour of research (what a waste of time) and i got this from another website:

    "press ctrl+shift+c, and type in command 'wm geometry . +0+0', and press enter." Well the keyboard shortcut didn't work (outdated), but command+s does! And instead of wm geometry . +0+0, try wm geometry . +0+22.

    Thanks, me!
