I would like Cinnamon to have the classic window behavior feature "Cascade". You know where applications start in the topmost leftmost corner and as other applications open they go a little lower and a little right, until such action would make the application partially off-screen (horizontally it would go back to X 0 but a new Y offset, Vertically would make it go back to Y 0 new X offset)
Crude ASCII Example:
|_
---|_
------|_
Auto feels too random and windows open wherever they feel like or "fit", manual makes you place them yourself before you can even use it (makes it as-if you're dragging it), Center isn't any better as they just all open centered so you're moving it anyways, cursor doesn't work well as it just centers the application around the cursor location, but is terrible from a launch menu or pinned panel perspective.... I would love the old-school familiar cascade like window managers and MDI applications of the past.
