It's actually very easy to get trapped into a situation with a screen 
inaccessible. Solutions are:

 - WKeys, posted here, very useful (I always run it)
 - FastFonts from MicroSmiths
 - Grabbit from Discovery Software (commercial)
 - write your own short screen-flipper
 - move down the offending window/screen by 1 pixel to let you at the gadgets,
   again you write your own or use "expose" from a mid-60ish(?) Fish disk

(WKeys, FastFonts and Grabbit do a lot more)

Except that all versions, including hacked-up, of VT100 I know of do let you
move the window down.
