Evolution window placement

[anthau]

Binary package hint: evolution

I'm running Evolution 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 on Linux Mint Darnya, which is built on Gutsy. When I exit and then re-start Evolution, it does not remember where its window was located on exit.

*Edit: Discovered the bug in this pargraph affects all moved programs, so please disregard* Also (don't know if it's related), I have both a top and a bottom panel (Mint only has a bottom panel on default, but I added a top one). When Evo is not maximized, if I move it to another desktop, rather than respecting the top panel, Evo places itself so that the minimize / maximize / close bar at the top of the Evo window is hidden behind the top panel.

Happy to provide other pertinent info about my system; please just ask. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

Are you running compiz (Advanced Desktop Effects turned on?). I remember Evo doing this to me on a dual-monitor setup (would not realize top panel was not there). Think it might be under compiz, though.

I'm not seeing that effect under Hardy, though.

Mint Darnya runs Compiz-Fusion, which is at the heart of some of the issue, I suspect. By turning off some of the effects (changing to 1x3 workspaces instead of 2x2), I was able to eliminate the behind-the-top-menu-bar issue. Evo always opening in the same place, rather than where I moved Evo to before closing, however, still remains a minor annoyance, though. Please let me know if I can provide further info.

Thanks,

Anthony
