Hi Shane!

Strange, because I think if there is justification to put a "random" category 
into the policies, there is much more justification for a "centered" and "top 
left" or any other non-random behaviour. Why anybody would like random 
window-placement is also not quite clear to me. But that's just MO, of 
course.

Actually I consider all 3 available policies a bit random because all 3 are 
quite unpredictable (even if you memorize where the last window popped up you 
could not predict the "cascade" behaviour, because if the window is too big, 
it pops up in the corner again.)

I think adding at least one predictable behaviour would be a good thing, is 
really nobody agreeing on this?

Regarding the patch, I think everybody would be much happier if you would put 
it in CVS so that it doesn't disappear after every upgrade.

Thanks a lot!

Roland
