Hi Robert! I don't know if bug #159382 applies. Firstly, I don't know how to tell Gompiz to remember window locations. Secondly, some windows that are not full-screen seem to be opened in the same position they last had (e.g., Nautilus and Geany), others seem to be wildly distributed around the screen (e.g., gnome-terminal). I suspect Nautilus remembers its own positions (since it does it per folder), while others are handled by the “Place Windows” plugin.
However, for full-screen windows (made full-screen via Compiz's “Extra WM Actions” plugin), this doesn't seem to be remembered. For instance, if I close a Nautilus folder or Geany window in full-screen mode, it will open in maximized mode; gnome-terminal, however, always starts in the same size (I suppose it requests it) and placed in an empty spot on my screen. I don't have much of a problem with the terminal, but the others going from full-screen to maximized are annoying. (In fact, I'd like to completely replace maximize with full-screen mode.) I'm attaching my current Compiz configuration (exported from ccsm), in case it helps. Try the following to reproduce (using my Compiz config): 1) Open Geany; 2) Move and resize the window to some easily-identifiable configuration (say, left/bottom quarter of the screen); 3) Close Geany; 4) Start Geany again; notice it remembered its position. 5) Make Geany full-screen (F11 on my Compiz configuration). 6) Close Geany; 7) Start Geany again; notice how it's maximized rather than full-screen. I expect it to be full-screen. The above should work the same with a Nautilus window, provided it's always the same folder, or with Firefox. It won't work at all with the Gnome terminal (start+T on my config). ** Attachment added: "compiz.config" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/27952031/compiz.config -- Compiz misrembers full-screen status of closed applications https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164893 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
