Description Michael Stather 2006-06-05 00:47:46 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When I close the system monitor and reopen it, the window position and size aren´t remembered.
The program should open at the position I closed it and with the dize it had.

Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Comment 1 Benoît Dejean 2006-06-05 10:07:25 UTC 
which window manager are you using ?
Comment 2 Michael Stather 2006-06-05 12:18:42 UTC 
I´m using metacity.
But I don´t understand why this could be related, afaik in GNOME there´s no API for this kind of things, so the application programmer has to take care of it. There are also many other apps which remember the size and position right.
Comment 3 Benoît Dejean 2006-11-13 13:48:10 UTC 
Can you still reproduce ?
Comment 4 Michael Stather 2006-11-13 18:25:13 UTC 
I don´t know, I´m not using gnome/linux at the moment.
But I think it´s really easy to test if this is still present in new gnome versions.
Comment 5 Peter Sääf 2006-12-17 23:09:07 UTC 
Still present with system monitor 2.17.4. Tested with metacity and compiz.
Nautilus for example, saves this information in gconf. (/apps/nautilus/preferences/navigation_window_saved_geometry)
Comment 6 Benoît Dejean 2006-12-18 16:54:25 UTC 
OK, i need eel for that. I'll see what i can do.

Proposed patch

Window size is already saved in g_settings and loaded on start, so I have made a patch to also save the window position on exit and load it on start.

Thanks. Patch applied to master.
