Title:
  Compiz does not place Java windows correctly

Status in Compiz:
  Invalid
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  http://askubuntu.com/questions/77423/how-can-i-get-java-apps-to-
  follow-compiz-window-rules

  I have this same issue with my POS terminals. When the employee brings
  up a Java dialog screen Compiz does not take over the Swing rules and
  place the window.

  What ends up happening is that the dialog box moves further and
  further down the screen until the buttons are off screen and the
  dialog box is un-useable.

  I've attached two screenshots of the behavior.

  Steps to reproduce: 
  1.) Open a Java based application with a pop-up dialog box and open the dialog 
  2.) Open Compiz Setting Manager 
  3.) Choose Window Placement 
  4.) Click Fixed Window Placement 
  5.) Click New under Windows with fixed placement mode 
  6.) Click on the + 
  7.) Course Name 
  8.) Choose Get 
  9.) Select the window you want centered 
  10.) Click add 
  11.) Change mode to Centered 
  12.) click close 
  13.) Open and close the dialog box several times 
  14.) box moves towards and eventually off the screen after several open and closes. 

  What should happen 
  Compiz should place the window where it's told to place the window in the center of the screen overriding the Java Swing behavior. 

  Also Compiz should stop Dialog boxes from ever appearing below the
  screen line when automatically placed.
