I believe the top-left corner is kept in the same relative position to the 
top-left corner of the screen, unless that would leave part of the window 
off-screen.  If it would, then the top-left corner is moved to get the window 
fully on-screen, unless the window is too large to fit entirely on screen.  In 
that case, the top-left corner is moved to a few pixels in from the top-left 
corner of the screen (excluding the menu bar).  I don't recall if the window is 
resized to fit on the screen or just left with its bottom and/or right side off 
the screen.

I could swear I've seen a rough description of this somewhere, but I'm not 
finding it now.
