Public bug reported:
I'm using 16.04.1 Ubuntu (amd64) with Flashback session, fresh install.
compiz and compiz-plugins package version: 1:0.9.12.2+16.04.20160823-0ubuntu1
I need "Window Rules" plugin to place certain windows behind the others. After
activation of plugin in CCSM I added rule "title=Firefox$" in "Below" field. I
expected that this will put all opened Firefox windows behind the others, but
nothing happened. "Regular expressions matching" plugin is activated. I tried
other windows, namely "title=gedit" rule (which doesn't use regular expression)
with the same result. I tried "Above" field to place the desired windows in
foreground - doesn't work also.
I checked dconf settings, these strings are added to
/org/compiz/profiles/Default/plugins/winrules key properly. But it seems that
these rules are silently ignored.
I checked this plugin in 12.04LTS. As soon as I added "title=Firefox$"
into "Below" field, Firefox window was instantly repositioned.
