Hi!

Metacity places dialogs/windows of GTK 1.2 apps (e.g. unison-gtk, easytag)
exactly centered on the Display, in my case exactly between my two
equally-sized Xinerama screens.

Ciao

Bug closed in bugzilla with this comment :
"metacity doesn't place those dialogs; these are windows that have
either the PPosition or USPosition hints set.  Unfortunately, there's
really not anything metacity can do to fix this, since we've found
that not honoring these hints causes a good many applications, such as
java and other proprietary toolkits, to break."

I'm closing here too, according to the upstreams not a bug of metacity.


Thanks,

Sebastien Bacher
