   2 ### Window placement algorithms, choose one of these and ebind it to the ###
   3 ### ob.EventAction.PlaceWindow event.                                    ###

   5 ### Also see historyplacement.py for the history placement module which  ###

  12 ###                                                                        ###
  13 # ignore_requested_positions - When true, the placement algorithm will     ###
  14 ###                            attempt to place windows even when they     ###
  15 ###                            request a position (like XMMS).             ###
  16 ###                            Note this only applies to normal windows,   ###
  17 ###                            not to special cases like desktops and      ###
  18 ###                            docks.                                      ###
