@seb128: argh. I meant "this fixeD everything" (for 12.10 that is).

I know it's only one issue per bug report. But the underlying problem is a single commit and many bugs are connected to fixing this bug correctly (which has been done for 12.10). This bug produces issues for people who don't even use "scale all". Most corporte users don't use scale all but they do see the flying windows.

@mc3man: the problem fixing this bug is that if you fix it the default behavior changes and you can't change the user settings on upgrade. The only way to do that is ask for user interaction through a notification (the way it happens when you install Dropbox). That would work but bothering the user with notifications is unwanted, so it won't happen.

The way I see it this bug is unfixable with the only acceptable solution apparently being the introduction of a second hack that will (I think) introduce even more problems for the next dist-upgrade.
