What's the point of mission control if the windows hide the desktops?

Mission Control basically organizes/manages your application and it's windows so you don't have windows everywhere (like it was in Leopard/Snow Leopard) and allows access to them. It does what it's advertised to do, what's the problem you're having?
EDIT: I see what you're saying. You don't mean the ACTUAL desktop but the desktop spaces. That's not suppose to happen, the windows are suppose to be centred below the spaces. This was happening to some people. Does it happen to you all the time? As of right now, there is no fix - you'll have to wait for Apple to acknowledge/address this.

You'll have to wait for 10.7.1 - pretty sure it'll get addressed there. Also, did you upgrade to Lion or did you do a clean install? I'm finding that those with the problem are upgrading so perhaps there's some correlation? Maybe not.
A question about your Safari: Do you have several windows or does it show your tabs? I know it showed tabs in their WWDC demo but I can't figure out how to get that working :S
I haven't tried that, but I have found that sometimes you can make the windows behave themselves by moving your mouse pointer to another part of the screen. It seems that if you move the pointer to the bottom of the screen, a lot of the time the windows will get out of the way.
Well, 10.7.1 didn't fix it... here's hoping 10.7.2 will
Ahh and so begins that process we get with every release. I waited 10.4.0 through 10.7.0 saying maybe the iTunes Dashboard Widget would be fixed ... and even then people mourned its loss
. To me I was finally right, and had one thing less to complain about. Of course, Lion introduced hundreds of new things to complain about, so I'm going to be grateful to get my crashy iTunes widget back when I go back. There's no more going forward at this point - maybe by 10.10.0 by my calculations.It does this on mission control when you put all your windows centered.. As in you set your itunes window centered and finder window centered...
temporary solution just move one of your window either one pixel to the left or right
