Answer 1

Here is the code I ended up using:

GraphicsConfiguration gc = // ...

Rectangle bounds = gc.getBounds();

Insets screenInsets = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenInsets(gc);

Rectangle effectiveScreenArea = new Rectangle();

effectiveScreenArea.x = bounds.x + screenInsets.left;
effectiveScreenArea.y = bounds.y + screenInsets.top;
effectiveScreenArea.height = bounds.height - screenInsets.top - screenInsets.bottom;        
effectiveScreenArea.width = bounds.width - screenInsets.left - screenInsets.right;
