Metacity won't fix this because:

1) it's not a window manager issue; applications ought to be responsible
enough to create their windows where they want them;

2) it violates separation of concerns; there can be a separate process
(such as devilspie) which moves a user's windows around to their heart's
content (the difficulty of configuring devilspie itself is not a
counterargument to this);

3) it's near-impossible to do well in the window manager anyway, since
we don't have any good way in X of recognising that the new window is
somehow "the same window" as the old window.  Only the application knows
that.
