Description Thomas Bushnell, BSG 2006-05-30 16:55:12 UTC 
Gnucash remembers even impossible window positions.  That is, if you have a large screen, and move the window all the way to the edge, and then quit, it remembers that position; now log in on a small screen, and gnucash starts up at the remembered position, which makes the window impossible to see (since it's off the screen).  This doesn't happen for gnome apps in general, and it creates user confusion.

Suggested patch

Above patch checks whether a window will be invisible with the given position and size. If it will, do not move the window. BTW, I cannot reproduce that bug with metacity... it seems to check that by itself.

Hampton, what do you think? I can remember the answer for this session or permanently, if you wish ;-)
