Subject: Main Contact Window Jumping off screen
I have a presistent problem where the PSI main window (roster/contacts) resizes its self to be full width of my display.  When I try to resize it back to normal, its screen location changes to off screen.  The window jumps off screeen when I click on the left or right side of the window to resize it.  This happens as soon as I click on the edge, before I start to drag the mouse pointer.

I haven't discovered the conditions where the main window resizes its self.  It can happen several times per day.  I normally have the window sitting on the right side of the display so its physical screen locationis going to be around 3000, 200.  I may often have the right edge of the window physically of the side of the display (IE >3200).

I when the window is full width I can move it around the screen.  It only jumps off screen when I try to resize it.  I can move it back onto the visible area and resize it back to normal.  When it jumps off screen, it is to the right of the display.  Screen X location > 3200.

Psi version 0.10
Qt version 3.3.5

W2K SP4

Display:
Matrox Millennium G550 (with dual monitors)
Resolution 3200x1200.

Psi application options:

Auto-resize contact list
Remember windows Sizes
Hide menubar

Enable Docklet
Use "Double-click" style...

It's a bug in autoresize of roster window (i.e. main Psi window, a.k.a. contact list window). If you disable that option, your roster window will stop wandering outside of your desktop boundaries.
