Public bug reported:
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
compiz 1:0.9.8.4-0ubuntu3
I have two monitors of different sizes (laptop and external). I have
emacs configured for a default frame size that makes efficient use of my
external monitor. However, emacs opens with its default-default window
size, then changes when it reads my init file.
“Smart” placement will more or less randomly place it in either monitor,
depending on the apps I have open at the moment, where my mouse cursor
is, the day of the week, and direction of the wind. It's fine when it
places it on the external, but when it's placed on the laptop, it then
tries to resize to larger than would fit on the screen.
Expected: the window would be moved to the large monitor, where it fits.
What happens instead: it gets maximized; unmaximizing it and then moving
it doesn't make it the right size. I have to “Open new frame...” from
the emacs menu, then close the old one.
This of course happens with other apps too, it's just easier to
reproduce with emacs due to the fact that it reads its init file after
the window has already been drawn.
