compiz should not place existing windows at startup. compiz doesn't
really try to avoid weird positions. the move plugin have some code that
avoids moving windows to weird positions but that's only for when moving
windows.

A plugin that makes sure that windows are never placed at weird
positions could be written for this purpose.
