Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
I placed some terminals, firefox, and emacs in Startup Applications. I used Compiz's Place Windows functionality to tell Compiz to place these windows on specific viewports. I verified that starting the application manually caused the window to be placed appropriately. However, logging out and logging back in, the windows were not placed appropriately. Specifically, one of my startup applications is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal --title 'Term 3' and I have a Place Windows->Windows with fixed viewport rule with precondition "title=Term 3" that places the window at position 3,1. This rule seems to work every time when I execute "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal --title 'Term 3'" during the session, but it only works sporadically on the Term 3 window that appears at startup. My initial hypothesis is that Startup Applications started the applications before Compiz was ready, and then Compiz Place Windows did not want to move windows that already existed. This would be useful because if it worked, Place Windows could be a partial replacement for session saving, which has been removed ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/726431 ) Thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: compiz 1:0.9.4-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-5.32-generic 2.6.38-rc6 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-5-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,compiztoolbox,decor,scale,expo,vpswitch,resize,snap,mousepoll,gnomecompat,grid,wall,place,move,regex,workarounds,ezoom,session,staticswitcher] CompositorRunning: compiz DRM.card0.DP.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.HDMI.A.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: DRM.card0.LVDS.1: status: connected enabled: enabled dpms: On modes: 1366x768 edid-base64: AP///////wBMo0JHAAAAAAAUAQOAFw54CrhVlFhUkiocUFQAAAABAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBAQEBEhtWclAADDAwICUA330AAAAZAAAADwAAAAAAAAAAAB60AnQAAAAA/gBTQU1TVU5HCiAgICAgAAAA/gAxMDFBVDAzLTcwMQogAHc= DRM.card0.VGA.1: status: disconnected enabled: disabled dpms: Off modes: edid-base64: Date: Tue Mar 1 02:53:15 2011 DistUpgraded: Yes, recently upgraded Log time: 2011-02-27 15:44:26.119310 DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: hid-ntrig, 1.1.2, 2.6.35-25-generic, x86_64: installed hid-ntrig, 1.1.2, 2.6.38-5-generic, x86_64: installed GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Fujitsu Limited.
