You're right, I use the name already existing in Squeak/Pharo.
We should change them.

Reverse Stragger is the one used in Squeak/Pharo: random, which is not a random 
but a placement where it is the better (hummmm, not sure it works fine).
Standard is a placement where the screen is divided in four space (top left, 
top right, bottom left, bottom right) and window are placed in each of these 
spaces.

Yes, I will do this, or someone with a better english :)))

Again, you're right.
I make the cascade setting because the other are not easy to use when I use my 
big screen.
Reverse Stragger is cool on a 15 inches, but on a larger screen it is really 
difficult.

I leave it to Reverse Stragger to not change the habit.
Now, I think Cascade is better.

Other opinions ?

Cheers,
Jannik
