no, it doesn't.<br>
how? well, opening a new window on an empty dekstop always opens it
in the top left corner.<br>
the relevant section of rc.xml:<br>
<tt><br>
<placement><br>
<policy>Smart</policy><br>
<!-- 'Smart' or 'UnderMouse' --><br>
<center>yes</center><br>
<!-- whether to place windows in the center of the free
area found or<br>
the top left corner --><br>
<monitor>Active</monitor><br>
<!-- with Smart placement on a multi-monitor system, try to
place new windows<br>
on: 'Any' - any monitor, 'Mouse' - where the mouse is,
'Active' - where<br>
the active window is --><br>
<primaryMonitor>1</primaryMonitor><br>
<!-- The monitor where Openbox should place popup dialogs
such as the<br>
focus cycling popup, or the desktop switch popup. It can be
an index<br>
from 1, specifying a particular monitor. Or it can be one of
the<br>
following: 'Mouse' - where the mouse is, or<br>
'Active' - where the active window is --><br>

i also tried commenting out the other options, so it looked exactly
like you suggested, but no change.<br>
<br>
actually i remember i was complaining about this earlier, and dana
jansens confirmed it.<br>
i also vaguely remember someone saying that the development branch
has re-implemented this feature.<br>
<br>
can someone make further comments, suggestions, confirm, deny?<br>
<br>
thanks.<br>
