The GTK2 docs don't actually mention [--geometry](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/gtk-running.html) (nor in the page on [X11 options](https://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/2.24/gtk-x11.html)) so I guess thats why it doesn't work.
The position of "Save window position and geometry" in the "Shutdown" section of the dialog is slightly misleading, it not only stops Geany saving it, it also stops it using any value in the file on startup and you will get whatever your WM decides. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
