the last time I've tried I could track the windows positions between
sessions, but it's a feature that I don't use.

So what do you use and can it save window state?

The only application I've in my session is GKrellM and it manages the
position itself... ^__^;

The problem has to do with multiple instances of the same program. So
one xterm works fine. Gnome-terminal is actually a single instance
with just multiple windows so that's probably why it works with
multiple terminal windows.

Is there any scripting control over where Windows are positioned?
Meaning, can I create a script file that I just run from the
commandline once when I login such that I can start an xterm and then
tell metacity to position it's window (idenfied by pid I suppose) on a
particular desktop at a particular position?
