Arg. I guess there's really no hope of this improving unless Apple provides the API needed by FMN?

I'm aware of the X11 issue -- it's due to a change in X11 that's existed since Leopard. It wouldn't be tough to solve that problem, but it didn't seem worth it since FMN didn't work properly anyhow. 2. That's the main problem. Since Leopard, the technique FMN used for getting window positions became unreliable. I think there may also be a problem when you have multiple spaces enabled as well -- the windows on the current space are saved and restored but others aren't. @Botsvein: Thanks for testing FMN.

If needed, I can post screens or any other additional info. hope this would help to revive the project! tried on a snow leopard (10.6.2) – mainly fmn works.

You should try it yourself. :) I did a small bit of testing and it seemed to work a *bit* better, but I haven’t had time to give it a real workout. You should try it yourself. :)

Do you know of any other tools that accomplish something similar to FMN?

Thank you very much!

I'd love to have FMN working, or an OS feature that does the same thing. Done! I’d love to have FMN working, or an OS feature that does the same thing.
