Bug Description
When running ubiquity-dm from Xubuntu's Beta1 Vivid image, any new windows created within it are positioned offscreen. This means that the final window informing you that your installation is finished doesn't show up for the user.
As far as I have been able to debug this, some window-manager hints are set incorrectly by Xfwm4, it's not clear though as to why as all information I could gather from xrandr and xprop otherwise seemed fine. To be more concrete, this is the offending hint:
_NET_WORKAREA(
It should read like this instead:
_NET_WORKAREA(
I'm not sure what causes this offset, the ubiquity-panel seems to set its STRUTS ok and Xfwm4 seems to behave fine in the live session. I'll attach a few logs below.
"xprop" (of a new instance of xfce4-terminal that was created offscreen)
