 This is the ideal towards which we strive. But it's not as simple. Trivial
example: your Windows and Linux screens have different sizes so the windows
(which remember their positions as you've surely noticed) should come up
in different places. In fact, this one isn't OS-specific, of course, 2
Windows machines could have the saem difference. But there are more when
you start changing OS, for example I use IrfanView to view big images under
Windows but xv under Unix. And even though I use vim under both systems,
it's located in different places. And so on.

 Why?

 They almost never are.

 I'll test it tonight.
