I do apologise. I've just tried this at home and did indeed get non-overlapping windows!
I'm using Dapper at home and at work, updating semi-frequently. If you don't mind, I'll try this at work again, where I noticed the issue, before marking the bug as "hogwash". -- Window placement could be better https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/39225 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
