[Window Focus - Observation] Where did Lubuntu put a new opened window?

 

Hello everyone,

Long story short and without long introductions. I have noticed the
following behaviors on Lubuntu 13.04 (updated).

*Case I*
Screenshots from *1-6* show where Lubuntu put a new opened window *in the
middle/center of the screen**.*

*Case II*
Screenshots from *a-c* show where Lubuntu put a new opened window*
'WHILE'  another
window is opened.*

*Conclusion*
As long as there is not any application or program or window opened on your
desktop, Lubuntu will put a new opened window in the middle of your screen.

If there is another program or application or window opened already, the
'new' opened window will NOT be placed in the middle, it will be placed
some where else.


*My Personal Opinion*
If you ask me, this is a very smart and important default feature, IMHO. It
is a basic feature that 'should' be available.
Placing each new opened window on the top of each other will simply create
a mess. This way, you can see both windows.


You see I have chosen 6 random applications/programs. Each one started in
the middle. Yes, Lubuntu does remember where was the last time the very
same application's window was placed so when you close it, re-open the very
same application, 'as long as' there is no other application opened, the
system will put the window in the middle.

@Developers and/or Lubuntu QA Team,
PLEASE, correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you all :)

P.S.
Why I'm sending this? users are still wondering and asking about that every
now and then :)
