@Fabio, if this feature didn't exist and we were asking for it, that
would be a feature request. The feature exists, but does not work. That
is a bug.
@Eleni, I think you must be confusing this with a different bug report.

Title:
"smart" window placement puts windows on top of each other while there
is plenty of space
Status in Compiz:
Confirmed
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Consider the following program that opens 5 small windows:
#!/usr/bin/python
import cv2
import numpy as np
for i in range(5):
cv2.imshow(str(i),
np.random.random_integers(0,255,(64,128,3)).astype(np.uint8))
cv2.waitKey(-1)
(needs python-opencv and python-numpy)
When I run it, all 5 windows appear exactly on top of each other. My
desktop is stretched over two monitors. Left monitor has nothing on
it, right one has emacs not maximized, the 5 windows pop up on top
left of the left screen.
I expect that the windows would appear in a way that they do not
overlap, since there is plenty of space on both screens for that.
