Title:
  20_do_not_place-windows-over-the-launcher.patch is not being applied,
  adversely affects unity-2d

Status in Unity 2D:
  Triaged
Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “metacity” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU TESTCASE

  1. start Ubuntu 2d session from the login screen
  2. start gnome terminal
  3. note the launcher hides since the new window is created just below the launcher area
  4. now install metacity from oneiric-proposed
  5. repeat 1 and 2
  6. note now the new window is created just right to the launcher so that it does not hide

  
  In the last rebuild of metacity,  (metacity (1:2.34.1-1ubuntu4) oneiric  on  Sept. 16th ), this patch isn't being applied, it's in the patches folder but not listed in series file.

  This causes the prior poor behaviour in unity-2d  as noted in bug
  688816

  This was either done intentionally without comment in the changelog or
  unintentionally, in any event it's been almost 3 months, about time to
  address this one way or the other
