Sounds like you're probably using a non-gnome-compliant window manager.
Placing windows is your window manager's job, and whichever one you're
using is configured for "manual" placement, in which the user places the
windows.  A compliant window manager would respond to the "hints" given
by the gnome applications on where to be placed, and to not use window
manager decorations (i.e. title bars) for them.  Just try switching your
WM and you should be okay.

good times,
