no problem here with Gvim, even with a terminal already on the screen.
it always opens  c 1 line  above the bottom of the screen
& i can adjust the height downwards with middle-click on the maximise button,
which also restores the original height (not that that's helpful to do).
it's the same in 4.0.6 & 4.1.90 .

the application i have a problem with in this respect is Kview,
which always opens a bit too wide for the screen,
perhaps due to the panel taking up a thin slice on the left.
