Comment 6 for bug 391533

Hand-configuring Devil's Pie on a per-application basis with a GUI isn't a great step up from hand-configuring it on a per-application basis with a text file, but thanks for the link anyway.

I have just installed CCSM and set my window placement to 'smart' (it was already set this way actually). I then opened a terminal, moved it, and closed it. I then opened a terminal again and it appeared back where it did the first time, not in the location I had moved it to before closing it. Same problem can be demonstrated using the 'chess' game, so it's not specific to the terminal. So no, that doesn't fix this bug. Can you see if you can reproduce this 'wrong' behaviour, or if you have some other setting making your placement work in the way the bug requests?

Personally I'm fairly sure that the 'smart' setting tries to place windows into the 'best' gap for them, not in the same place you had them last time. If you're seeing the latter behaviour then I think you have something else causing it, or you were testing with applications that work around this problem in the window manager.
