Public bug reported:

On rare occasions Gwibber client will be raised on the wrong monitor.

This one is rather difficult to reproduce. Here are the steps:

- Make sure you have two monitors configured as one big desktop (xinerama or AMD's Big Desktop will both be fine)
- Start Gwibber 
- Make sure that client is on the first monitor
- Quit Gwibber (completely so that gwibber-service dies)
- Start Gwibber again
- Move the Client window to the second monitor
- Click on the Messages indicator and and select Messages (or whatever) under the Broadcast.
- Gwibber will be raised and moved to the first monitor

Why this happens? (see client.py)
Because self.save_window_settings() is called only in on_quit() and on_window_close(). When Gwibber is started on the first monitor and then moved to the second one nobody tells it that it was moved.

Quick fix:

Add to GwibberClient's setup_ui()
  self.connect("configure-event", self.on_window_end_move)

And then add another method that will handle this:
  def on_window_end_move(self, *args):
    self.save_window_settings()
