I suppose I had better start with a confession:

Having been in dependency hell for about 2 months I have installed UBUNTU 11.10 on my main machine and am running Unity 2D on it. If one uses Avant Window Navigator one can very nearly avoid all the bumf that comes along with Unity. Still fairly cheesed-off with Unity, GNOME 3 and the fact that there has been no consideration for those who like GNOME 2 (after all, why not just keep it in the repositiories as an option?).

Now, re my last post about keeping LC windows on-screen:

having posted the script that I made first of all, I decided that putting the stack slap-bang, dead-centre everytime it strayed slightly off-screen was pretty awful, so I changed the code to this:

on moveStack
   put the short name of this stack into THSTK
    if the left of stack THSTK > (item 1 of the screenRect) then
      set the left of stack THSTK to (item 1 of the screenRect)
   end if

<snip>

end moveStack

and when I dragged my stack it froze the Ubuntu 11.10 interface completely, disabled the mouse and so forth; the only way out of this was either to jump on the button on the front of the computer or yank the power cable out from the back: neither what one might choose in an ideal situation.

I don't have a desperate urge to try this out on either my PPC macMini or the Windows XP running in a Virtual Box setup; however, I do wonder whether the same sort of thing would happen.
