Bug description:
  Grid plugin inst working as it should  .

  The experience is not even close to what we get from other OS  ( Ms
  windows 7 ) .

  Im speaking like the bug is already confirmed because i got this one
  in every pc with ubuntu that im using with different hardware
  configurations. ( nvidia , ati , intel  , blah blah )   so i know its
  there . It was affecting oneiric and still affecting precise.

  This should be consider as a feature not enabled by default because
  the experience is very bad   (until is fixed).

  The grid is not enabled every time a window touch an side , it feels
  very random no matter how fast you are approaching the side or how
  many pixels are you pushing further of the screen edge.  If you can
  manage to initiate grid most of the time instead of  actual maximize
  the window you are only get the shadow effect maximized and stuck
  there.

  Im attaching a video with the problem because its a bit complicate to
  explain .
