Description Cosimo Cecchi 2013-02-15 02:09:06 UTC 
I am not sure if this is a mutter/shell or a GTK bug, but it might be a regression from the frame sync patches.
The initial placement for windows is wrong (unless the window sets a geometry, e.g. it doesn't seem to happen in Nautilus).

See attached video - with a modal dialog but the same happens for other windows.
