Yes, I'm working on an app that also goes fullscreen. I've noticed the 
same issue, but I don't think it is related to the user account, it has 
something to do with redrawing the window. It isn't consisent for me, 
but Rev does want to push the window down on Mac OS to allow the 
titlebar to show. This makes sense in most cases, because otherwise the 
user could not move the window. It is only a problem for kiosk apps.

The solution is pretty simple. When the stack opens, resumes, or 
maximizes just set the topleft of the stack to 0,0. That's been working 
fine for me.
