Hi

In fedora 20, amd_64, empathy chat windows & contact list window is first created and then moved to the last known place, thus creating a weird artificial movement of the window which is annoying.

This is not happening on other gnome apps like nautilus or gnome-terminal. I've tried some of them and I only found this bug in empathy.

I can confirm this bug is also happening to me.
