i didn't see anywhere that this is supposed to happen, but it just makes sense. why place the windows almost at the edges (but only at right and bottom, not top and left), when you could place them at the edge and be more asthetically pleasing (and less annoying)? for example, if you open four windows that are rather large, but not fullscreen, they will get placed at the four corners of the screen (almost -- the right and bottom windows will be slightly displaced from the edge). >> maybe the calculation for window placement isn't taking into >> account the size of the window border? > > I think the calcul only try to put them where there is room. You can > adjust this for different size of windows in WM Tweaks, but that's all. the "min window size" setting is the only one that affects placement in the "window manager tweaks" dialog. the windows i am talking about are large enough that smart placement is kicking in. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
