For all of you, who do not want until the fix is available via update can simply edit the .xml files in /usr/share/compiz, namely unityshell.xml and place.xml.
1. In unityshell.xml (sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/unityshell.xml) remove the line <plugin>place</plugin> in the <relation type="after"> block. 2. In place.xml (sudo gedit /usr/share/compiz/place.xml) add the line <plugin>unityshell</plugin> in the <relation type="after"> block. Done :) Enjoy a working Place plug-in and make sure to adjust the settings to your needs via CCSM->Window Management->Place Windows Plugin (sudo apt- get install compizconfig-settings-manager). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/874146 Title: New windows open on the wrong monitor, Place Plugin settings silently ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/874146/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
