Right:
On Windows XP:
moved the taskbar to the top of the desktop and did a
put the working screenRects routine and got: 0,28,1392,973
where
put the screenRect gives 0,0,1392,945
so, a few questions:
why, when I position a stack just below my taskbar and do this
put the top of stack "TOPPP"
do I get 50 ????????
why is item 4 of "the working screenRects" larger than item 4 of "the
screenRect" ?
Oh, and I have my resolution set to 1392,945.

Similarly, on Mac OS 10.6.7
I get a working screenRect of 0,22,1920,1032
a screenRect of 0,0,1920,1080
and the top of my stack positioned just under the menuBar gives me 44
44 is NOT 22, nor, for that matter, is it 80 - 32
so why you should write "in my case, we are 22 off the top, 45 off the
left side"
I just don't know, unless you have mysteriously shrunk your Mac menuBar
to half its normal
fatness.

Hi Richmond,
your little routine computes the place to be spared to the RIGHT, you should
use items 2 and 4 for setting the TOP of your stack.
By the way, to add to my previous post, I tried to put the dock to the left
side and the working screenrect gives: 45,22,1680,1050
thus it seems usable (at least on mac): in my case, we are 22 off the top, 45
off the left side. For the right and the bottom, they are still some
computiation to do, if for example you want to set the maxheight and the
maxwidth of your stack.
One learns everyday: what I discovered today is that the effective screenRect
is a sub-option of the working screenRect. It seems rather logical because the
(unavailable) effective screenRect should be a huge virtual surface allowing
for accessory screens and so on. Probably limited by the maximum values of a
signed integer or something like that.
