As the out-of-the-way placement doesn't seem to be very popular, I have
just implemented it the simple way, i.e. if there is no last position
available (upon first open) the window is moved out of the way, after that
the last position is used.
I wonder if we shouldn't drop the out-of-the-way strategy altogether, since
it uses rather a lot of code with only being called upon once. Any opinions
on this?
cheers,
Oliver
