Title:
  confusing window placement eg for "Help"

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  During tests of an install made from the i386 20070411 livecd:

  I had oo.o open visiting a text document.  This occupied approximately
  the centre third (by area) of my 1280x1024 display.  I selected "Help
  / OpenOffice.org Help" from the Writer menu.  Yelp started as
  expected.

  However, Yelp's window was exactly the same size, shape and location
  as OpenOffice.org's.  This made it look very much like the help was a
  function of oo.o; a user might try to get back to their program by
  selecting "Back" (which won't work) and might be scared to click
  "close" in the window frame thinking that this was their document.

  Nautilus's window placement algorithm ought to do better in this case.
  If any of the oo.o window had been left showing then the confusion
  would not arise.
