Yes.

Yes

Neither am I.  But that was the advice I was given a year or so ago.  I
looked at SCIM; didn't really understand it and didn't want to; but if
it was applicable, it seemed like a lot of work just to get a window
placement on first opening of Evolution.

Without going into a long description of how I prefer to work with
Evolution or why, every time I re-boot into Linux (or close and open
Evolution) I have to move Evolution around on the screen to get it
placed where I want.  Since I use a tight fit, its a fair amount of
dicking and nudging to get it exactly on the screen where I want it.
All the other programs I have set to load at startup allow Xwindows
geometry, or something, that lets me specify the exact screen position.

Gconf.d keys, default mode, lets me set the window size and panel sizes
but not the screen position.  All my other applications allow me to
pre-set their +x+y (pixel count screen position) coordinates.

If there is no other way, should I make this a feature request?
