Hey Sam! Great to hear you're lurking:)
I think it was our first go's on your Pi when we encountered this.

Can I ask what RPi model's this is with and which version of Raspbian?

While we can sort hacks for Pd it should presumably be an O.S./W.M. fix.

I've never encountered this problem on various debian wheezy installs but that's with xfce not lxde.

Hello all (long time lurking here),

 When I came across this problem in 2012, a hack similar to the linked pdtk_canvas.tcl solution fixed things.  

I encountered the same problem with a fresh install more recently, and was loathed to go digging for the solution - I gave up too easily and went playing with sonic pi instead! So I am happy to see this thread which reignites plans for touch screen musicking! 

Here's what I am here to add:

When changing the Raspbian configure.txt make sure to look through the whole file to check for multiple instances of the disable_overscan line.

Hope that helps someone

Correction sorry:

"Also, if you have a qwerty keyboard attached you can make use of the option key & pointer to pull the window around."

That of course should be alt-click not option-click

Ingo's fix makes more sense anyway (without firing up the rpi and checking)

It could be a overscan problem.
In Raspbian there is a config.txt file in boot.

    #overscan_left=24
    #overscan_right=24
    #overscan_top=16
    #overscan_bottom=16
    disable_overscan=1

Try "disable_overscan=0" or change the border values to what gives you a
full screen without going over.

i am experiencing a strange problem with a freshly apt-get installed PD on a
new Raspberry PI.

whenever i am opening a new patch, the window appears with its menubar above
the vertical 0 position, meaning i can't touch the window and drag it to a
usable position. the only (extremely annoying) workaround is to right-click
the window and "move" the window to a central position every time i open a
new patch.

i never experinced this beheaviour before, did anybody here ?
 
I get the same on Debian Wheezy amd64 running LXDE but not on Ubuntu or
WIndows, so I think it has to do with the window manager.
