Bug Description

Themes with (thicker) window decoration/bezel around the window dodge the launcher even when they shouldn't and clearly don't have to.

To reproduce:
Change theme to e.g. Clearlooks
On an empty desktop open e.g. Terminal. The default placement rule puts the window into the left upper corner, next to the launcher. However because the Clearlooks unlike Ambiance has a thicker window border it overlaps slightly into the area of the launcher (2 px or something). The launcher dodges the newly created window.

Expected result:
Changing the theme shouldn't affect placement of windows and default behavior of the launcher.
