Description Peter McDermott 2005-01-15 04:26:40 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
After logging back into gnome previously positioned notes apear at the top left
of the screen with different dimensions. This behaviour is not consitant.
Sometimes several notes keep the correct dimensions or location on the screen.
They also always apear in the first workspace rather than the one they were on
before logout.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create several notes (more than five so it is more likely to happen).
2. Resize and relocate them on the screen and workspaces.
3. Logout and back in.
4. Repeat step 3 to see inconsitancy.


Actual results:
Notes lose their dimension and location settings.

Expected results:
Notes apear with the same dimensions, in the same locations, and on the same
workspace as they were before last logout.

Does this happen every time?
No, it is inconsistant. However, with 5 or 6 notes it will occur with one or
more. They never go to the right workspace.

These issues have been resolved in GNOME 2.9.4. They will unfortunately not be
backported to GNOME 2.8 as the fixes required significant refactoring of the
code base.

Thankyou. I look forward to upgrading.
