Thanks for the responses, Howard and Jan.

I knew there would be a simple explanation, and figured it would turn out to
be user dumbness, and sure enough.  I hate it when that happens. I had at
some point grouped my two main bg graphics within a larger group while the
Mac menu was in effect, and though I placed it above the top of the window
for Mac, it was 4 pixels too low for Windows when that menu config was
displayed.  So when I selected the grouped controls and moved the graphics
up, the group boundary cut them off, leaving 4 pixels of the card layer
exposed. 

I will try your tip re setting the default menus, though.  That is still a
bit of a puzzle.
