Thank you, If I tell the odd window to remeber its dimensions I get the
following entry
	[app] (name=SuperCollider) (class=SuperCollider)
  	  [Dimensions]  {0% 2%}
	[end]
created.

If I change this in this textfile to 
	[app] (name=SuperCollider) (class=SuperCollider)
  	  [Dimensions]  {100% 100%}
	[end]

the window is created the same (above, wrong) dimensions. What is important to
know that the problematic window is a subwindow of scide, namely "Show node tree"
and not the main scide IDE window.

What is puzzlig is that this is not a problem on openbox.

Thanks for your help Matt!
Peter
