Binary package hint: compiz
After compiz restart (eg. when compiz --replace or by killing blocked compiz process), windows are incorrectly placed - most often shifted down by height of the title bar, but gnome-terminal windows are placed to the top left corner. Assignment of windows to virtual desktops is not preserved as well. There are also problems with cairo-dock's windows; after compiz restarts, the dock is stacked below other windows instead of above. I have to restart cairo-dock, but then the desklets are not anymore mapped to the widget layer and it is necessary to re-enter the window matching condition (type=Utility &class=Cairo-dock) in the widget plugin configuration to restore the order.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.
Thank you for your help and patience.
