Description Lucas Rocha 2007-08-03 12:56:40 UTC 
It's really strange to have an empty window resized and moved when you open a document. The document profile (or metadata?) with the window size and position should only be applied when you directly open a document.

I'm the reporter of Bug 491012.

I'm not quite sure it's exactly the same issue, so I would add to the description "The document profile (or metadata?) with the window size and position should only be applied when you directly open a document AND before displaying the window".
Comment 3 Nickolay V. Shmyrev 2007-11-01 07:45:51 UTC 
Hm, indeed it's a bit different. Sorry, I remembered we had similar issue, but probably not this one. Let this bug be a common point for resizing on open issues.
Comment 4 Jean-François Fortin Tam 2008-11-23 16:47:17 UTC 
isn't this just a matter of doing things in this order? :

0) have the gtk properties for that window to show = False (or hide = True?) by default
1) grab the document dimensions/metadata, or calculate using bug #562023
2) set the window dimensions through GTK
3) window.show()

Or something along those lines?
Comment 5 Alexandre Franke 2012-08-28 21:00:44 UTC 
This looks pretty close to bug 448837.
