Public bug reported: Since the beginning of Linux many applications you open are not being centered on the desktop and I see this has still not been improved 100% on the various desktops/window managers...
As long as Linux has been around you would think that someone had developed a way to keep all applications centered on the desktop when you open them. I do not know if this has been any area of concern for the Ubuntu team but from what I have seen in other distros it looks like Ubuntu has been possibly doing something here, or maybe it's coming from Gnome development, but it's nice to finally see applications opening up on the center of the desktop at least on Gnome, I can't say what the other desktops are like in Karmic right now, I'm only using Gnome. But in Gnome running under Karmic right now there are still applications that do not center when opening them and it would be great if they all did. Without having to make a long list here of all the applications I see that do not center themselves on the desktop when you open them I just ask that the developers spend the time to somehow develop Gnome so that all applications that are opened will be centered on the desktop. I truly believe and I hope others out there do, that part of a polished desktop is having applications open consistently and in the same place, not sporadically all over the place at different times.
