Compiz to override Java window placement
We use an open source point of sale system on our Ubuntu install called unicenta. Its built on java and does everything we want, but has one annoying quirk - java windows opened in the app appear on our second display.
We have two displays on said system - one for the POS, and the other which mirrors to a number of TVs around our venue showing internet live streams. Whenever a window pops up within unicenta (such as a payment screen for example) it appears on top of our livestreams.
I was hoping to use compizconfig to override the window behaviour, using a combination of the information provided in this old forum thread, the Workarounds in the compiz wiki and this askubuntu question.
Accordingly I've added the following to ccsm...
Place Windows-> Fixed Window Placement:
name=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer / Mode: Smart
name=sun-awt-X11-XDialogPeer / Mode: Smart
Window Rules-> Size Rules:
name=sun-awt-X11-XFramePeer / 1366x768
name=sun-awt-X11-XDialogPeer / 1366x768
General Options-> Display Settings
1366x768+0+0
1920x1080+1366+0
Alas I've had no luck, these settings alone don't seem to be enough to override the placement of the java windows. Does anyone have any other compiz suggestions I could try?
