OK, this behaviour doesnt happen for me. I am using 1.1.5 and Swing 1.0.3 on
Windows NT

I dont have any fancy sizing code so this seems to be the default behaviour

Run a really simple small demo and see if the frame overlaps the task bar.
If it does then maybe post the demo app and I'll run it from my end.
