Preserved Window Placement

[Jason Simanek <jsimanek gmail com>]

Hi,

One of the things about Linux desktop environments that continues to 
frustrate me is a lack of preserved window placement (and dimensions) 
for different applications. Every time an application is started it is 
placed on the screen in some system-wide default or computed location.

Does Gnome have any plans to add this feature? Is there some non-obvious 
challenge to implementing this capability? Seems like it would be as 
simple as writing these properties to the user's application-specific 
config file or possibly some central (to the logged-in user's 
environment) list of every application ever ran and its primary window's 
location and dimensions.

Otherwise, Gnome 3.6 and Gnome Shell are great and continue to get 
better with each new version.

Thanks for listening,
