The odd thing is that I, unlike you as I understand it, also have this
behavior (miss positioning) on my laptop that I use with only one
screen. That makes me think that something in my setup is influencing
the placement of Cardapio. It has become better since the patch, it's
more like 50/50 now, but it's still quite an issue as you understand
;o)

I don't know what could be the cause on my systems though. It's a
rather mildly reconfigured Ubuntu 64bit system (in both cases) that
runs Gnome 2.x (whatever version is current in repos) and the PPA
version of Docky (but that is required for Cardapio anyway as I
understand it). They have two different gfx cards (laptop ATI and the
other Nvidia) and the rest is rather as it comes from Canonical ...
Any idea of where we could look next?

I'd be happy to hack around the code if you don't mind getting a lot
of stupid questions in cat or so the first week. I'm not very good at
Python but I am a good programmer and a language is mostly syntax so
I'll pick it up ;o)

Figure it'd be easier for me to see why it's behaving strangely on my
system than it is for you ...
