Yes, I am so used to the windows resistance. It is quite a downgrade not to have that nice feature.

One annoying problem is the window placement/moving policy now. In oneiric this worked (I am using Unity-2D, so metacity, composing manager/effects are enabled) very well. If I open a new window, it will be placed "stacked" on existing window (eg if I open a new terminal (usually I have to open more of them), even if there is lots of "free" space on the workspace. So, I think metacity in oneiric tries to use available 'free' screen space, which is not true for oneiric. Another annoying thing is the window border "resistance". In oneiric, if I move a window, there is need for a little "push more" action to be able to move window when border is at another window's border. It's a great help to align windows in a nice way. In precise, this does not work, or at least it behaves oddly: if I move a window towards another horizontally this _is_ this effect, however not at the border but _before_ it! There is a huge space, probably the same size as the Unity launcher bar, is it possible, that positions are miscalculated? I am using "auto hide" for Unity. There is similar problem vertically however the "gap" is smaller, and I have no idea if there is some relation of the size of the gap and any other thing. It's about half of the height of the top panel, for example.
