A recent discussion on evolution-list about whether Evolution should support a --geometry command-line option brought up the fact that GNOME applications are rather inconsistent in how they set their initial window geometry on startup. There are common approaches but no standard mechanism, as far as I can tell.
Some applications (e.g. Nautilus and Gnumeric) support a --geometry option that gets passed to gtk_window_parse_geometry() on startup. Other applications (including Evolution) use GConf to automatically provide persistent window geometry across sessions, some with the help of GConfBridge. I think I'm correct in saying the GConf approach is preferred, but are there use cases for supporting a --geometry option as well? Perhaps just for consistency across apps?
