Hello Everyone.  Thanks for thinking about this snapping problem.  I'm
afraid Omer is mistaken about the "GRID" option in CompizConfig.  It has
never been enabled on my machine--yet, the problem persists.  In
addition, the "SNAPPING WINDOWS" option has never been enabled in my
CompizConfig settings either.  Like other users, I've found that the
only way to stop the automatic snapping is to disable "PLACE WINDOWS" in
CompizConfig.  Doing that, though, creates another very undesirable
behavior where any new window that's turned on shoots to the upper left
screen and is placed so high that it's Title/Control Bar is not visible.
Hardly a good situation.

This snapping mess was discussed as early as September 2010 in this
thread:

Let me say this: I really don't care if 12.04 is fixed.  I really don't.
What I do care about is that a problem that's been identified for many
months is fixed and put to bed before October 18 and Quantal Quetzal.
Can someone tell me if Quetzal is free of this problem?  :-)  I hope the
answer is yes.
