Remember windows size and position

[erlguta]

I am giving a chance to Ubuntu Hardy with Gnome and i see that it does not remember window positions. Let me tell you two examples:

1-When i close my session i have evolution minimized in Desktop 2...and after restart i want evolution in the same place. This is one out of the box feature in KDE (and windows, and Mac, and...) but ubuntu place evolution maximized in the first desktop...

2- When i start my session, i must minimize pidgin all the time. I want that the main windows does not appears (like ekiga).

How can i do that? I is so simple in KDE and so difficult in Gnome...
I tried alltray but it does not works as i expected.

How it says here (yes! you must vote it):
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/1442/

..."I spend a lot of time constantly resizing / maximizing / repositioning the same windows over and over again. It's a productivity drain."

I am surprised that so few people show interest in this improvement. For me it is imperative.

I am quite surprised that does not include this function.. :0
Coome on! This is BASIC for one modern OS.

Even i am thinkig to stop using Ubuntu and go back to Debian with kde because i am not usually work with gnome for this reasons.

I agree that Gnome has way to many "small", easy to miss, and extremely annoying bugs.

I've read that it's getting harder and harder to develop new features in GTK2 too. Hopefully someone has started to work on GTK3..

And yes, I believe this certainly should be fixed, not to mention that "hide tooltips" function which neither does work.

If you ask me, QT (hey, it's made by a Norwegian company) works much better, but I can't stand away from the simple and so very easy to use Gnome DE..:)
