Minor but should be fixed.
Again the same problem, gconf-editor is not a gnome app, and doesn't save this stuff.I think I'm going to open a metabug about making gconf-editor a gnome app and make these bugs dependent on that.
We can now use gnome-config for this.

Tried this out now, and it only worked the first time I tried. Subsequent opens of the app just use the default height and width? Updated the patch so it applies to HEAD.

After some more testing I see that width/height works, but placement does not. Maybe worth commiting anyway as a first step?
> After some more testing I see that width/height works, but placement does not. Why don't you ask the framework/library to do this for you instead of bothering with this in every single window in every single application you're writing?

actually, placement is not really an issue, as I have become somewhat convinced, over the years, of the argument "it's the window manager's job". Just adding size and maximization would be fine for me.
Comment on attachment 76698 [details] [review] updated patch Kjartan, feel to update the patch? You should update the GConf value for height/width after a g_timeout_add(), as we can get lots of configure-event signals in little time while we're moving/resizing.
Closing as obsolete.
