Here’s another quick tip. This tip shows how you can configure fixed window placement in Compiz Fusion.
1. Launch CompizConfig Settings Manager, press Alt + F2 and enter “ccsm”, then press Enter.
2. Enable Place Windows.
3. Click Place Windows and switch to Fixed Window Placement.
4. Expand Windows with fixed positions and click Add button.
5. In Edit dialog box, enter the following information:
- Positioned windows: for example, “title=Mozilla Firefox”.
- X Positions: for example, “200″.
- Y Positions: for example, “113″.

Thanks for this tip. I have Mandriva 2008 with Compiz and was really annoyed with the various window placement options on offer. I was able to get GKrellM to stay up the top-right corner of my screen with this tip (”xwininfo” is a handy utility to show you window size, position, etc, info).
