Yes I'm aware of these options, and they go a certain extent to relieving the effects of bad window placement. But the complaint remains that E17 is placing windows over the shelf. > Out of curiosity, Metacity's policy of placing the top-left of new > Windows in the first free, non-window decoration pixel from the top > left is better?

Compiz has options for window placement, including a 'smart' option that behaves as its name implies. Anyway, neither metacity nor compiz ( nor kde for that matter ) have ever placed windows over a panel, or maximized new windows so that they cover the entire screen. -- Daniel Kasak IT Developer NUS Consulting Group Level 5, 77 Pacific Highway North Sydney, NSW, Australia 2060 T: (+61) 2 9922-7676 / F: (+61) 2 9922 7989 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] website: http://www.nusconsulting.com.au ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
