Hi, I installed 12.04 some days ago and replaced Unity with Unity 2D. I even removed compiz. Everything works fine except the window placement. Every window opens in the upper left corner at +0+0. After moving a window its new place will not be remembered on reopening.
First of all: Is this a problem of Metacity or Unity 2D? I did some research and tried to use Devil's Pie to force all windows to be centered in the middle of the screen. Although Devil's Pie performs some of my commands (e.g. (focus), (geometry "400x300")) centering does not work. I tried to move a Nautilus window some pixels towards the center by appling the command (geometry "400x300+100+100") but only the size of the window changed. The x and y offsets are not recognized by Devil's Pie. Can this be an indicator for the window placement problem? Any ideas for a workaround? ------------------------------------------------------------ My settings under /apps/metacity/general are: auto_maximize_windows = true action_middle_click_titlebar = lower button_layout = close,minimize,maximize: auto_raise_delay = 1000 compositing_manager = true workspace_switcher_keyboard_cycle = false raise_on_click = true compositor_effects = true theme = Ambiance num_workspaces = 4 focus_new_windows = smart resize_with_right_button = false capture_before_unmap = true visual_bell_type = frame_flash action_right_click_titlebar = menu action_double_click_titlebar = toggle_maximize focus_mode = click reduced_resources = false application_based = true visual_bell = false titlebar_uses_system_font = false disable_workarounds = true titlebar_font = Ubuntu Bold 11 audible_bell = true auto_raise = true mouse_button_modifier = <Alt> show_maximized_titlebars = false -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971322 Title: Unity-2D/metacity window placement/move problems in precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/971322/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
