[regression] Smart Window placement places new windows in the top-left corner

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

To encounter the problem, I logged in and opened any app, and noticed it opens in top-left corner.
This also occurs when logging in as guest.

The behavior I expected was that it remember the last position or open somewhere where my attention is likely to be (i.e. somewhere more in the center).

Behavior encountered was that when I open something, anything, it opens the top-left corner.

This is a wishlist item, then.

For the record, you can change the window placement in the compiz settings manager's 'put window' plugin.

Thanks for the report!

But, wait, hold up!

This is a regression.
This worked perfect in 11.10 and 12.04-beta.

I see, I'm sorry, I read this wrong (very tired, you see...)
