You have been subscribed to a public bug:
1. install gutsy and apt-get to get latest
2. launch calculator using application :: accessories
3. launch another instance of calculator, it appears in the exact same place as
the first instance
this is a problem because many non-geeks would have a hard time
understanding that there is now two instances of calculator running.
windows have fixed this problem by adding N pixels (50 or so) to the
left and top properties (the x,y window position coordinates) of the
second instance.
some people talk about how compiz can bring additional visual cues and
improve accessibility and usability. however, a simple change like this
can go along way to help users understand the effects of their commands.
of course, it's nice to have the first instance load in the exact same
place every time (these initial coordinates are most likely loaded from
gconf which is great). therefore, this bug report applies only to the
second instance of an application.
