If applications using Mutter specify a placement, that's fine. The primary goal bug report is to atleast have some apps be placed in the center, since it is a very popular feature in compiz. Albeit that compiz code is not directly useable out of its context.
Surely it's possible for a future plugin/or_patch to give the window manager some sort of OVERRIDE capability, for those that apps that have their own placement specification. "slightly offsetting each new window." is not an issue, since MOSTLY-CENTER would be good enough, compared to always at the top-left, which is dizzying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1298263 Title: Mutter should by default place new windows in center of screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1298263/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
