What application? What resolution are you running? How large is the
application itself?
Depending on your window manager / desktop environment: grab the
application and move it so that a resize handle (again, varies by WM) is
visible. Resize to fit your screen. Close the app. It should open
sized to your screen. You might also maximize it so that it just fits
within your visible desktop.
Peace.
