Comment 1 for bug 491681

Also experiencing this. In Ubuntu Netbook Remix, the 'maximus' program automatically maximizes and undecorates task windows, so that the date entries are always at the bottom of the screen, and consequently the calendar is always off-screen.

I observe that the task window can be resized, but has some minimum dimensions. The minimum height is greater than the height of the calendar. Thus, placing the calendar over the task window would guaranteed it is always on-screen.
