Does the "best-fit" window placement algorithm annoy anyone

After I open a couple of windows and all the vacant real-estate is gone,
all the rest proceed to overlap one another almost as perfectly as
possible all the way up in the top-left corner. Placing windows
perfectly atop one another seems broken.
What you're describing is Metacity's behavior in FC3. It's even worse in
FC4. Every time I open a new window in FC4 I feel like throwing stuff
around because it doesn't seem to make any sense. When a couple of small
windows and opening a large one, Metacity will decide to mash the window
into some open space, best-fit or not. Combine that with the change that
opens new windows *under* the active window, and you have an excellent
recipe for GUI rage.
