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?
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.
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!
Darrell

When I first switched from Windoze, one of the things that stuck out to me
as much more sophisticated, convenient and adaptable about KDE was the
ability to put new windows where they interfere least with already open
windows. I'm reminded that's still the case every time I have the
misfortune of having to use a Windows machine for some reason. So I say,
keep Smart the default.
