Description of problem: In this mode, unlike Metacity, the plugin doesn't even try to place the windows "nicely" on the screen. Instead, it just aligns them to the top left. Metacity, on the other hand, calculates how many windows would fit onto the screen vertically and horizontally and then places windows so that when they take maximum amount of screen space, they are still pleasantly separated from the edges of the screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-plugins-main-0.9.4-1.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gnome session with Compiz. 2. Install ccsm and enable place plugin, smart placement. 3. Open multiple Gnome terminals on one workspace. Actual results: Windows not placed smartly. Expected results: Windows are supposed to be placed smartly. Additional info: This is how compiz worked in F-14, but this was somehow broken in F-15.
can you file this upstream? It's almost certainly nothing to do with the Fedora packages, we don't touch the plugin code. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers

Actually, this is part of compiz core.

Just wanted to make sure this is assigned to the package that actually has a problem, which is compiz itself: $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/compiz/libplace.so compiz-0.9.4-2.fc15.x86_64
