That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/gnome-media/+bug/58876 "Distribution: Edgy Knot2 Architecture: i386 Version: 2.14.2-1ubuntu5 It would be nice if gnome-volume-control would remember its last window position on the desktop."
This is either a metacity bug (although I know the maintainer disagrees), or it is a gtk bug, ince gtk should give us a nice API for this. I don't want to use this stupid gconf x/y-window-position value stuff that other people use, it's silly. Nevertheless, I confirm that this would be nice to have. ;).
this is a matter of policy. I'd suggest to use Devil's pie for such window management problem. I don't think we should save window position. http://live.gnome.org/DevilsPie
