I'm running metacity 1:2.34.1-1ubuntu11 (as part of Unity 2D) on Ubuntu Precise amd64, and (despite post #12) I still see this issue.
I have a keybinding to launch an xterm, and if I press it four times then I get four xterms opened in the top left of the screen, almost entirely overlapping each other. I have to manually drag the windows to be able to see their content. This is on an empty 1920x1200 desktop, so there is plenty of free space. Each window is very slightly offset from the previous one (1px to the right, and 28px down) so that only their title bars are non-overlapping. Could somebody advise as to whether I need to raise this as a new bug, given that this ticket thinks it's been fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157497 Title: New windows stack up in top left corner Status in The Metacity Window Manager: Fix Released Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gdm” package in Baltix: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: metacity This is happening in Gutsy Gibbon. Not sure if metacity is the right package, could be Gnome or something else... I've noticed that most of the windows open stacked up in top left corner (at least the programs I use the most). I think in Dapper windows cascaded. This concerns at least Firefox, Thunderbird and Calculator. (XEmacs and Nautilus are two programs that seem to place window somewhat randomly. gnome-terminal seems to tile windows.)
