i think you will find the app is saving its last state and trying to restore it
on start. this is supremely annoying and in the past i have used e's locks and
remembers.

1. tell e to remember the window (eg position and size) AND rememeber locks
2. set up locks to "disallow app from moving/resizing/maximizing" etc.

and watch the problems go away. :) give it a try. this is precisely why e has
these features - to let you spank badly behaving apps and send them to bed
without supper. :)
