windows docking to left hand edge of screen

Asked by John McGrath

every time I open a window or application, the window appears all the way at the left hand edge of the screen. Even if I move the window more into the center of the the screen, once I close then re-open it , it's back at the left hand edge. How can I make Ubuntu 10.10 remember my window positions??

Depends on window manager.
e.g.
Metacity.
Via gconf-editor.
http://library.gnome.org/users/gconf-editor/2.32/gconf-editor.html
Path:
/apps/metacity/general: focus_new_windows = smart

Compiz.
/apps/compiz/plugins/place/screen0/options/mode = 2

Via CCSM (compizconfig-settings-manager).
