I'm on Ubuntu Lucid and it does not remember the size and position of
the window with this patch applied. That being said, I'm ok with
allowing the window manager to position the window, but not its size.
Most applications remember their last size when closing. Having to
readjust the size each time is extremely annoying. Besides, the app is
still setting the default size in the glade file. With that removed,
metacity is setting the window too small each time it is started.

Incorrect startup monitor

Status in Linux DC++: Confirmed

Bug description:
I have a dual-monitor setup with my secondary monitor on the left and primary monitor on the right.

On first startup (when LinuxDCPP.xml doesn't exist), LinuxDC++ will open at position X=100 (which is on the secondary monitor) instead of something > 1024 (primary monitor). I then have to drag it over to my primary monitor.

Also, because I immediately maximized my window (and never unmaximized it), the X position is never saved. After months of frustration I realised this only after inspecting the code myself (workaround was to unmaximize, drag over to primary and quit program so that X saved as > 1024).

I see the latest GTK has a gdk_screen_get_primary_monitory() function which could aid with this? But what is the minimum requirements in terms of GTK?

PS: To add to my frustration, my secondary monitor is actually my TV, which isn't always on. I had to switch on the TV so that I could drag the LinuxDC++ window over.
