Actually, any application that saves the window size & position with the
document, should check to see if the window fits the current screen when it
is reopened.  You need to make sure that some part of the window's title bar
is visible and that the window is no larger than the screen size (or so).

The zoom window feature is not a substitute for doing the right thing in the
first place.
