Comment (by pulkomandy):

 I don't see how saving the size and position can be annoying ? The
 alternative is always opening at the same size and position, without any
 way for the user to change that default.

 Of course, making it resolution-safe (or even better, resolution
 independant) is a good thing.

 As far as I know, there is no perfect way to solve this problem. The
 closest match for Haiku is to save the window size&position as attribute
 in a document, so that it can be restored for that particular document
 (matching Tracker's spatial mode for folders). Pe does this, for example.
 But for apps that have no notion of a document, like terminal, I see no
 solution that matches ?

 If you're single-window-mode people, then, I have no idea how it should
 work.
