Comment 11 for bug 391533

Could you suggest a suitable place to assign it? There doesn't seem to be a general Ubuntu 'desktop usability' project that I could find with Google. We already know Metacity will close it as 'not their problem', and I assume Compiz would do the same. Not sure where else it could/should go...

I was hoping it would be fairly trivial to fix in that Devil's Pie could be used to implement some of the solution, but perhaps that's still not trivial enough. This is definitely something that someone new to Ubuntu would find to be a usability failure - my reason for filing this bug in the first place was that a friend tried Ubuntu last week and went back to Windows after three days due to this specific issue - he found it that annoying, just a total show-stopper for him that application windows and dialogues didn't always appear in the same place that he'd put them last time. I'm sure that seems silly to many people, but I can appreciate his point - it's been annoying me for years too, although not enough to stop using Linux/GNOME.
