Description Bastián Díaz 2011-11-01 14:57:49 UTC 
I think that would improve user interaction if you change the current behavior of the windows to be run first time.
Currently when an application for the first time (eg Gedit), it appears in the upper left corner.
I propose:
1. When running an application for the first time this appears in the center of the screen (remember the last used window size)
2. When running an application in a second to remember its position. (only in the same session)

This can be complemented by what is said in bug 651075.

Fedora 16 (Verne)
Environment: GNOME 3.2.1
