[Bug 1100924] [NEW] ubuntu does not remember window position

 

Public bug reported:

It doesn't seem that Ubuntu does remember window positions because it
always puts it in the left-top corner of the desktop when i close and
then i reopen window again.

Moreover, when i open a window at first time, by default, i expect
centered window and not in the left-top corner of the desktop.
