I'm posting this question to both the developer's and user's list. Everybody's thoughts and comments are welcomed.
Bug report 676 (http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=676) was submitted requesting that the default window placement be changed from "Smart" to Centered. A patch was provided to make that change.
What do you think?
Leave it the way it is. What it is now works and if the user whats something else she/he is free to change it.
The configuration option for window placement is found in Control Center, Desktop, Window Behavior, Moving tab.
Please keep the conversation focused to the DEFAULT setting and not what you prefer. The default setting is used when a person uses Trinity for the first time and is still learning to use the desktop. For a default setting, keep in mind new users, users migrating from Windows, traditional window placement, user expectations, newbies, etc.
I really don't care about migrating windows users. They need to get with the band wagon. Do not change GNU/Linux/trinity into be a "free windows". I don't understand all of this GNU/Linux has to work like windows. GNU/Linux is well GNU/Linux and windows is....well junk. A glorified games/virus lanuching platform. It that is what windows users wants, that's fine. I use GNU/Linux because I want GNU/Linux and not windows.
This discussion is not about the merits of either option but which is best as a default for new users.
Please --- if you don't know what the "Smart" option does, then don't speculate. :)
Thanks much for your time!
