is this bug still being looked at in Natty Narwhal? I get this same
behavior with Ubuntu 11.04/Gnome 2.32.1/NVIDIA driver 280.13/Compiz
0.9.4.0 on a 7600 GT AGP card.

Title:
  With dual monitors (TwinView), maximized windows start up in wrong
  screen

Status in The Metacity Window Manager:
  Fix Released
Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  I am using two displays, after I added these relevant changes to the
  default xorg.conf (and enabled the restricted nvidia driver):

          Option          "TwinView"
          Option          "MetaModes" "1280x1024 1280x1024"
          Option          "TwinViewOrientation" "LeftOf"

  If I close gedit (or firefox or thunderbird, ...) while it's in a
  maximized state, the next time it will start in my left virtual screen
  every time. No matter if I start it from a gnome panel on either
  monitor, or via Alt-F2, or from a console.

  The main window does actually get created on the virtual screen where
  the mouse pointer is. But after 1/10 of a second it invariably gets
  moved to the left screen.

  If I leave the main window unmaximized before closing it, the next
  time I start gedit , it will start on the correct screen.

  Perhaps related to this: I've initially seen this on Firefox, so I
  tried the mozilla.org 3.0b5 linux binary and got the same behaivour.
  But if I try with Firefox 2.0.0.14 from mozilla.org, the window gets
  created on the correct screen when starting maximized. Unfortunately
  as soon as I click anywhere on the window, it jumps to the left
  screen.

  Tested with (fresh ubuntu 8.04 install):

  - firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3
  - gedit 2.22.1-0ubuntu1
  - metacity 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu4
  - nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.12-16.34
  - xserver-xorg 1:7.3+10ubuntu10
