Comment 10 for bug 144348

Hello,
I also noticed the same bug.
I had the empathy default jaunty version and it happened, now I have the ppa repository version for jaunty, and it still happens.
I tried with and without compiz and I saw that the window hasn't got the same behaviour in each case :
- with compiz : it moves down and right each time you minimize and maximize it. the down moving distance seems to be the height of the window's top border.
- with metacity, it's a little bit odder :
   * sometimes it remembers its position, I haven't noticed when.
   * when there are no other windows on the top-left part of the desktop : empathy's window seems to always appear in the same position : its top border is sticked to the bottom border of the desktop icons (the first row). And its left border is near the left side of the desktop. I added an attachment. to show this position.
   * if another window is opened and occupies (even partially) the place where empathy should be, empathy moves to different positions depending on the space left around (e.g. : if there is enough space on the left of the other window, empathy will maximize top-left, even if there is enough space elsewhere). As there are too many different behaviours, I won't enumerate them all.

I hope that I explained my observation clearly enough, and that it will help you to solve this bug.
