I've updated this bug with the information you have provided. Bug 159382
is the correct place for discussion regarding Compiz automatically
remembering window locations.

** Summary changed:

- Compiz misrembers full-screen status of closed applications
+ Using full-screen from the “Extra WM Actions” plugin doesn't get remembered by applications

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: compiz
+ Using full-screen from the “Extra WM Actions” plugin doesn't get
+ remembered by applications
  
- Hello! This is about latest Gutsy.
+ To reproduce:
+ 1) Open Geany;
+ 2) Move and resize the window to some easily-identifiable configuration (say, left/bottom quarter of the screen);
+ 3) Close Geany;
+ 4) Start Geany again; notice it remembered its position.
+ 5) Make Geany full-screen (F11 on my Compiz configuration).
+ 6) Close Geany;
+ 7) Start Geany again; notice how it's maximized rather than full-screen. I expect it to be full-screen.
  
- Compiz* remembers the window size when applications are closed. The next
- time an application is started, its window is set to the last recorded
- size (I'm not sure about the position). The problem is that if a window
- was in full-screen mode when it was closed, at restart it is set to
- maximized mode. I almost never use maximized mode, but very often  use
- full-screen mode. So this situation is annoying. I would prefer if
- either (1) applications remembered full-screen status, and started that
- way if applicable, or (2) they were started in the last used non-
- maximized window size.
+ Repeating the same test using View->Fullscreen has it restart in
+ fullscreen.
  
- (*: At least, I think it's the window manager's job to do that, and
- Compiz is what I'm using.)
+ The above should work the same with a Nautilus window, provided it's
+ always the same folder, or with Firefox. It won't work at all with the
+ Gnome terminal (start+T on my config).
