It seems like it's is a bug in javas look and feel, if I call
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) then the frame will cover
the taskbar and if I don't call it and use the default decoration for
windows xp then it won't cover the taskbar.

I'll try to look in the bug databas at sun for a workaround if nobody
here is fast enough to post one...

BTW setUnDecorated don't apear to work either if
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true) is called.
