Hm. This should be fixable. At least our initial default settings should 
be set to avoid this. Could not the gnopernicus main window be set to 
appear in the opposite corner of the magnification area?

Right, so I've put a screenshot here: 
http://people.ubuntu.com/~henrik/images/Screenshot-ZoomerOptions.png

but basically you can see that it has chosen to set itself at x1=320 
x2=639 y1=0 y2=479

My display is set to 1280x800 (which I guess gnopernicus should be able 
to read out).

I have dual head on my card (d-sub + dvi) and an extra screen so I 
should be able to set this up. However I guess it's not what were aiming 
for with the default install on the Live CD.


Considering what we know about the default behavior of gnopernicus and 
the default layout of the ubuntu desktop I suggest we tell the magnifier 
to start with the zoom window on the right-hand side of the display. Two 
reasons for this: We don't risk covering the Applications et al. menus 
and the gnopernicus settings window would tend to appear in the top left 
area on an otherwise empty desktop. So the settings should be:

x1 = DisplayWidth/2
x2 = DiplayWidth
y1 = 24
y2 = DisplayHeight-24


Where I've taken the gnome-panel bars to be 24px high top and bottom. 
When I do that on my system it seems to boot into a usable setup.
