Hi, ive been using ubuntu since 8.04, not really a launchpad user though so not sure if this comment needs to be placed here, but anyways.
I see that this case is set as a low priority, which surprises me. I have the same problem,and it is a really annoying problem. It almost feels kinda alpha/beta-ish. In my opinion, with Netbooks, the window should be placed at the top of the screen, making the most use of the screen and not leaving a blank unused space above. Now each and every single time you interact with the system, like saving something, the window has to be dragged, which really lags in usability, especially for new users, who might get annoyed if the Netbook install is the only or first Ubuntu / Linux they use. I tried to do some tweaking with the window rules for compiz (CCSM) to get the Nautilus popup (ie save) windows in a better position, but am not that far yet that it works, but maybe (and i dont know if that is possible) Ubuntu should look at the screen resolution and decide from there where the windows should be placed and how big the windows should be. And probably with the Tablets coming (and Conanical probably bringing a tablet version?) this also needs to be adressed, since the screens are all smaller. btw have a 8,9" Acer Aspire One, so a really small screen.
