Description Josselin Mouette 2007-11-03 11:56:44 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/447704 from Martin F. Krafft ]

evince saves the window position and size information on exit and
insists on restoring it when it's started again, overriding any
hints from the window manager. I think this is the window manager's
job and I should at least be able to turn it off.

As a side effect, evince fails to open on the proper head (the one
with the mouse pointer) in a multihead environment.

Spatial interface, that's how it's called.
