I agree about the fact that users in several situations enjoy being able to
place windows wherever they like, and as I said, when windows are large, you
can't really do this. It depends on the user though and the size of the windows

OK, this is what I really want to comment on about your post. I want
to suggest that
if you are going to implement it, then please, please, extremely large
please, when
you quit, do display a dialog box asking the user whether the current
state of the
windows should be displayed. One of the top reasons for me quitting glade is
that there are too many glade windows open, so I quit just so I can restart
with all the clutter gone. In any case, you should allow the user to discard
the state of the window layout in some way or another, cause I know,
popups are annoying, so popups are not the best solution to this
problem perhaps, but some way of disabling / resetting the state
should definitely be included if you are going to implement this.
