There is another solution Colin.
You could setup a  a virtual screen that's bigger than your physical screen.
It's like having a zoomed in screen, and you move it when your mouse touch the screen edge.

Adding to above for your future reference:  along top of Gimp (or any other GUI program) you'll notice that one of the letters in each category is underlined.  eg. File, Edit, ....  So, key combo would be <Alt>+<F> (lowercase) for File menu; <Alt>+<E> for Edit menu, and so on.

Hello

Thanks for your solution - Not sure why it happened but I tried to reset it by exiting  and starting again but the Open File dialogue window was in the wrong place .

Hi Colin,
Press and hold alt key and then drag the window with your left mouse button.
You can click and drag anywhere on the window while holding alt key.

Hi
I am using a Netbook with 1024 x 600 screen

I am trying to Export a Gimp File in JPG

The Export Dialogue Window pops up OK but is not all visible on the screen . I cannot get at any of the buttons or the top of the Window to exit . I want to be able to move the window to a better location

I believe there are Keyboard shortcuts in xfce  but have had no luck getting any to work . Do they need installing or should they work out of the box . what shortcuts do I need to use
