As of 0.16.7 E uses the window manager hints WM_CLASS *and* WM_WINDOW_ROLE (if the app has any) as key to the saved settings for an application. This fixed E16 problems with applications with multiple windows (e.g. gaim) which have the same WM_CLASS but different WM_WINDOW_ROLE.
gnome-terminal has chosen to set these like this:
$ xprop -id 0x1a00013 | grep -e WM_CLASS -e WM_WINDOW_ROLE WM_WINDOW_ROLE(STRING) = "gnome-terminal-4363-1286602416-1093544018" WM_CLASS(STRING) = "gnome-terminal", "Gnome-terminal"
WM_CLASS is fine, but every term gets a unique WM_WINDOW_ROLE as shown above, consisting among other things of the process ID and a time stamp. Since WM_WINDOW_ROLE for gnome-terminal's are always uniqe (which I belive violates or is at least a borderline ICCCM compliance case) E is not able to match saved settings from one session to the next (log out/log in).
I haven't heard of problems with saved settings with any other programs.
Gkrellm can be configured to remember its own position, which you probably have.

Hi
I've been using e fine up to version 16.6 (what I'm currently using).
Been trying the 16.7-pre's since they started popping up on the project
page, and noticed that the 'remember' settings for gnome-terminal (and
many programs) do not work -- it remembers to restart the program when e
starts, but does not remember anything else: size, location, border-
style, etc.
I kept trying the new pre's as they came out and all showed the same
behavior, as well as the 16.7 final (i guess it was final?) that was
just announced/released yesterday.
I've removed my ~/.enlightenment directory so that a new one is
generated for the new version, but it does not fix the problem. It does
not seem to remember the size or borderstyle of any program, but it
remembers the location of gkrellm just fine which is weird.
Is there something wrong with the 'remember' settings or is there a new way to go about it? I'm installing e from fc2/rh9 rpms on fedora core 2.6.7 (from kernel.org) using xorg. thanks for any help or clues.
