[Bug 694302] Re: grid makes window corners round

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: compiz
  
- placing windows via compiz grid plugin can be regarded as maximizing them to a certain region.
- The intention is to tile windows, maximizing their usage of a side, hemisphere or quadrant of the screen.
+ placing windows via compiz grid plugin can be regarded as "maximizing" them within a constrained space, inbetween other "tiles".
+ The intention is to tile windows, maximizing their usage of a side, hemisphere or maybe also quadrant of the screen.
  
- In this understanding, window corners should be drawn cornered and not rounded.
- rounded corners are for non-maximized & non snapped-to-grid windows floating above the grid.
- 
- all snapped to grid windows should have "cornered corners", i.e. not
- rounded.
+ In this understanding, window corners should be drawn straight and not rounded.
+ Rounded corners will still look good on floating windows.
