The actual bug is in Decoration, which assumes that because decoration windows 
"obviously" will be near the windows they decorate, there is no need to take 
the screen rectangle into account.  So it doesn't pass the screen rectangle 
that avoidStruts modified to Tabbed, and Tabbed ends up using the unmodified 
screen rectangle as a result.

I have some hacks to Decoration (on a machine that's in storage, sigh, and may 
remain there for a while --- I still do not have a permanent address) but they 
really are hacks; someone might want to look at a proper fix.
