Description

I am running current Ubuntu 17.04 and latest patches apṕlied, running Unity, one screen @ 3200x1800 and start snaptile as user manually.

The most left window is misplaced, the calculation seems to ignore unity launcher, which is on the left (default). CTRL-ALT-Q-X results in

 Absolute upper-left X:  74
 Absolute upper-left Y:  65
 Relative upper-left X:  0
 Relative upper-left Y:  0
Corners:  +74+65  -1526+65  -1526-0  +74-0
-geometry 1600x1735+61--13

If I drag the window on the left, so unity changes the size, I get following result:

Absolute upper-left X:  61
Absolute upper-left Y:  65
Relative upper-left X:  0
Relative upper-left Y:  0
Corners:  +61+65  -1569+65  -1569-0  +61-0
-geometry 1570x1735+48--13
