To expand on that: by default, Save puts the preferences in a file called Rconsole in the current directory; on startup, R looks for Rconsole in the R_USER directory (which defaults to the current directory), and if it doesn't find one there, in the R_HOME/etc directory. However, there's a bug in the current beta: near the end it writes out the lines ## Initial position of the graphics window ## (pixels, <0 values from opposite edge) xgraphics = ygraphics = but it can't read those because of the missing values.

That would make sense, but it's not likely to happen (and certainly won't for 1.8.0): we've more or less stopped adding features to the current Rgui. If I (or someone else) ever gets time, I intend to replace it with an all new one.
