Application windows memory

[tesseract1]

So when I open applications and move them to a spot I prefer them I expect the window to be opened in the same place if I open it again.

I'm looking for a setting that allows ubuntu to remember where these windows should open, and not some random place.

Hi,

You may expect that, but others may not. Hence most desktop environments follow a simple rule set with placement behavior embedded in the application (let the DE decide, center, on parent, etc.)

But this can be overridden with compiz and/or by application (if it supports it). In compiz setting manager (System -> Preferences -> Advanced Desktop Effects), that would be under Window Management, Place Windows, Fixed Window Placement tab.
