Is it possible to prevent windows in Mac OS from opening below the bottom edge of the screen?

screen

When opening a new window in finder, the new window will go below the screen. This is not a big deal, but when using macvim or terminal it can be annoying since your command prompt is now hidden. Firefox seems to be smarter, it never overlaps below the screen.

Same deal for the right hand side of the screen, windows often open with their right edge cut off. Is there any way to prevent this?
