Preserved Window Placement



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,

Jason Simanek
