Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and Compiz 0.9.6 on my laptop and have multiple (two) monitor setup.
compiz:
  Installed: 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6.1
  Candidate: 1:0.9.6+bzr20110929-0ubuntu6.1
  Version table:

when I open new window it is randomly positioned on monitor 1 or monitor 2.
I tried to setup that new window will be opened on screen with the pointer, and tried varios combinations of settings within plugin Place Windows, but without success. 
I found out that compiz plugin: Place Windows is not handling setting: "Multi Output Mode" correctly (maby not at all).

When i turn off plugin Place Windows, position of new windows is on the
screen with the poiter, but they are positioned from the upper left
corner (covered with ubuntu top bar) so it is hard to work with it.
