Comment 5 for bug 869902

I've verified the desired solution is not implemented (or at least, is not working) on Ubuntu Precise with unity 4.2.

However, I note it seems to work basically the same way in natty on metacity (2D), so the current behavior does not appear to be a regression; thus I'm not sure this is critical priority.

I would like to know if the plan is to implement the window position tracking in unity (or X?), or in the applications themselves. In Inkscape, gtg, and other apps I've worked on, the app itself stored information about its previous state and restored itself appropriately. I imagine leaving this positioning to the client app is more flexible, but obviously incurs a lot more work to convert programs to this style. So it would be helpful to hear what the plan of attack is for solving this.
