	Uha... I'm alway going mad when I see applications trying to save 
their window positions. That's really a no-no since most applications do 
a really bad job in storing their window properties. It's incomplete in 
most cases, steals you the chance to use that window manager that fits 
your needs best.

	Use a damn session manager, if you want to get window positions to 
get stored: In that case the window manager is forced to store the 
settings and anything works smooth and perfectly.

Ciao,
