When I use Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize(), it returns the
total size of the screen, including the space used by the Windows NT
(and presumably 95/98?) start bar.  I'd like to get the dimensions
excluding the start bar, so that I can position and size a window that
doesn't overlap the start bar.  Is there any way to do this from Java?

Thanks.

Guy
