screen size interpretation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To reproduce the problem:
1. Open calculator
2. use hot keys to move app around the screen
3. use ctrl+option+cmd+arrow to move the app around

The app does not dock to the proper locations on the screen for 1920x1200
res.  Additionally, the hot keys seem to not move the app for certain
combinations.

I am using version 10.6.

Appears to be related to fixed size windows- shiftit wants to resize the window 
to 1/4 screen size when using 
the ctrl+option+cmd+arrow combo to move around, and places the topleft corner 
of the window as if it had 
been resized. Similar issues with the option+cmd+arrow moves. System 
Preferences displays similar issues, 
though when it is in a lower position, part of the window is off the screen (I 
have two rows of Other preference 
pane icons, so my window may be taller than standard.)

Window positioning appears to be set by placing the window topleft at one of 
four positions, screen (minus 
the menubar) topleft, topmid, midleft, or midmid. If the window was resized, it 
would be either half or quarter 
the screen (minus menubar) depending on whether the control key was part of the 
movement.

So unless shiftit special calculates the positioning based on the actual size 
of the window, any fixed size 
window will be placed incorrectly except for the topleft position.
