The problem with this is that the window's title bar pushes the bottom of the game window off the screen.

Assuming this is essentially what you are seeing as well, there is a way around this behavior. If you go to game preferences and switch to windowed mode then back to fullscreen, the game enter fullscreen mode properly and the only thing offscreen is the window's title bar. It is an annoyance to have to do this every time you start the game, but it still beats missing part of the game window.
I just checked this, and my screen is also offset a few pixels to the right. Unfortunately, your suggested fix had no effect on either problem (too low and offset right).

And it's more than a few pixels low. It's low by more than the thickness of the titlebar. After it's moved back up and to the left I have no idea how much is offscreen, but it has to be quite a bit.

I occurs to me that this might be related to an issue I mentioned in a thread immediately after initial release, which is that when the game is in windowed mode, my window size (1280 by 960) is not one of the available options. It may be defaulting the fullscreen mode to 1280 by 1024, which would give you an idea of how much screen I'm missing. The reason I mentioned this during initial release was that I couldn't understand why 1280 by 960 was not available in Version 9 when it had been available in both 2006 and 2007.

Hope this gives you useful information concerning my problem, and I REALLY hope this gets fixed for Version 10.
