I see I am not the only one bothered by that too.  Changing screen 
resolution has become much easier now that we have xrandr than it used 
to be.  Windows created bigger than the screen can handle has come up 
quite a few times for me in the past year.  You would think the window 
manager would be smart enough to know that a 800 vertical pixel window 
will be useless on a 768 pixel desktop.  Any buttons at the bottom will 
not be unusable without trying to manually shrink the window by clicking 
on the top of the window, dragging it down, releasing, moving the window 
up some, and repeating if it still doesnt fit.  I think any window that 
is created should be autoreduced to the max display resolution(minus non 
hiding panels too) if the X or Y is bigger than the desktop.  It sure 
sounds good anyway.
