Well I know in my case I like that xmms remembers its position, but I
don't want xterm remembering its. I suppose this can be made
configurable in the window manager of course. IMO, if this was meant to
replace the app saving its position itself, then it should default to
not-saving, and the app should have to set the hint to be saved at
all.
