Quest Watch Window New Install Bug

My data hard disk went and died on me, so I had to replace it and install WoW and all my plugins all over again. Re-installing plugins went smoothly, right up until I re-installed Carbonite 5.4.0 Alpha 2.

When I loaded WoW the Carb Quest Watch Window was positioned hard against the left screen edge and up so high that the title bar for it is positioned off-screen on the top screen edge. Figuring it was a Carb install glitch, I wiped Carb (including its WTF files) and re-installed it again. Yup, same problem. I guess between this latest version of WoW, and this version of Carb, that the Quest Watch Window "new install" screen positioning got slightly hosed.

The upshot is, since I can't see the title bar I can't move the window. I re-read the Carb readme file and couldn't find anything in it that mentioned a Quest Watch Window reset command to use to bring the window fully back into view. If there isn't a window reset command, there should be!

I tried going through the WTF Carb LUA files hoping that it 'd be a simple fix, but I can't figure out which set of X,Y coords are the right ones to change.

Anybody know which is the right WTF LUA file to look in, and exactly which line(s) to edit?

Other than that Rythal, I'd say I stumbled across a new bug that shows the need for a window position reset command. Heh, can't drag a title bar if you can't see it.

P.S.

Almost forgot Rythal, were you aware the first thing you see when you bring up the main map in Stormwind City for the first time is a map of one of the new instances (some island, don't know which one though). Once I move the mouse over the map it disappears and the SW map comes up. It only happens once after logging in and thereafter bringing up the map in SW works correctly.
