Denny de la Haye, you seriously need to understand the technical details better
before you can know whether it can be done or not.
The code in coment #14 requires that the application set WM_WINDOW_ROLE
properly. If all applications did that, implementing this feature would be
trivial.
The
See documentation for gtk.set_role() for how to add this to
applications:

** Summary changed:
- remember window position of applications
+ Remember+restore window position of applications if WM_WINDOW_ROLE set
If it can't possibly be done in the window manager, this bug should be
Invalid, and bug 409539 should no longer be a duplicate.

If it can't possibly be done in the window manager ...
See comment #14 - someone already made a good start on it last year.
All it needs is someone to care enough to try, instead of jumping on the
opportunity to write the bug off as invalid.

This is not the job of the window manager, it must be fixed in the
applications themselves.
It is also my opinion that saving of windows position and state
(maximized/restored) should be detailed in the gnome HIG. This way
developers will be more obliged to fix it. Because currently reporting

Why? Devils Pie shows that this can be handled at a higher level, and
indeed it seems to me to make much more sense to handle it at a higher
level - then you can handle overlaps etc in a graceful fashion.
Just because remembering window placement isn't
Just a note, compiz seems to do a slightly better job of remembering
window positions than metacity, but only for some apps it seems.
Positioning of Audacious (mp3 player) was terrible under metacity, but
under compiz it's perfect. See duplicate bug #409539.

disappointed. Even the lightweight window manager fluxbox can do it, why not
gnome (which I so far liked):

Hopefully it is not too difficult to add
This is definitely expected behaviour for Windows users... but although
I agree that it is somthing which should be addressed... I use a more
cluttered approach to managing desktop windows, and I much prefer the
current behavior of placing a new window in the least occupied area of
the screen...
Metacity doesn't do a very good job of minimising overlap - it places
windows firstly into any empty space which is big enough for the entire
window, and if there isn't a space big enough to do that, it places the
window at top-left regardless of where the largest remaining space is on
the screen.
Is unacceptable that gnome does not have this option in 2010.
With gnome developers saying all the time that this should be implemented by
applications devs and applications devs not doing it, we may move on without
this functionality, so BASIC!!, until 2020.

Compiz has the same problem, for instance.

Metacity won't fix this because:
1) it's not a window manager issue; applications ought to be responsible
enough to create their windows where they want them;
