Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
I placed some terminals, firefox, and emacs in Startup Applications. I used Compiz's Place Windows functionality to tell Compiz to place these windows on specific viewports. I verified that starting the application manually caused the window to be placed appropriately. However, logging out and logging back in, the windows were not placed appropriately. Specifically, one of my startup applications is
/usr/bin/
and I have a Place Windows->Windows with fixed viewport rule with precondition "title=Term 3" that places the window at position 3,1. This rule seems to work every time when I execute "/usr/bin/
My initial hypothesis is that Startup Applications started the applications before Compiz was ready, and then Compiz Place Windows did not want to move windows that already existed.
This would be useful because if it worked, Place Windows could be a partial replacement for session saving, which has been removed ( https:/
