Bug Description
Binary package hint: compizconfig-
1) Ubuntu-Release: Standard Ubuntu Desktop 10.04, 64-Bit
2) Package Version: 0.8.2-0ubuntu1
3) The window-class should be taken over by the parent dialogue of 'edit match', which is the 'edit' dialogue
4) only 'class=' was taken over by 'edit' dialogue
When adding a new "fixed placement mode" (actually every option of the 3 fixed window placement modes) one can 'grab' a window, preferably by window class. If i do that, the window-class is correctly grabbed in the 'edit match' dialogue, but won't be taken over by the 'edit' dialogue. It always results in 'class=' instead of e.g. 'class=Evolution'
Greetings,
Thomas

This also happened to me in the "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation adjustments" plugin, where it is even more annoying:
* Open the "Opacity, Brightness and Saturation adjustments" plugin, this puts you on the opacity tab
* Go to "Window specific settings" and press "New"
* _First_ adjust the "Window values" slider to something other than 0, or this will get nasty
* Press the "+" Button next to the "Windows" field
* Put anything in the "Type" dropdown and "Value" Field
* Press "Add"
* The edit window only gets the "Type" selection, not the content of the "Value" field, e.g. only "class=" instead of "class=Ccsm"
* This often matches every window: "class=" matched every single window on my screen, including the GNOME panels.
* The new settings are applied immediately. This means that if you haven't adjusted the "Window values" slider before, now every window has an opacity of 0%, so every window disappears and you're left with an empty desktop, wondering what just happened.
Apart from fixing this bug, I think it might also be a good idea to have the "Window values" slider default to something other than zero, at least for opacity, so people won't have windows suddenly disappear on them.
