save window size & placement

[Si Dedman]

I have a widescreen monitor on which I've manually sized most programs to be third-width by full height in windowed mode. If I resize catfish, close, reopen, it doesn't retain the size nor position, whereas (e.g.) firefox, thunar, geeqie, etc, do.

Any thoughts as to whether this can be addressed? v1.4.4
Thanks!

Great stuff, cheers Sean.
Quick q: if I install catfish-daily from the PPA (https://launchpad.net/~catfish-search/+archive/ubuntu/ppa) which was last updated 2 days ago, am I right in guessing I'll get this update when daily is next synced to xfce git master, feasibly in a day or so? Since daily was last updated 22 hours ago I guess they're not auto-synced.
Thanks!

Hi Sean, thanks for this (& your work in general). Any chance you or one of the other lads in the catfish maintainers PPA group could update the PPA at some point to incorporate these various bugfixes? Seems it was last done about a day before you patched this so I figured it was a regular thing but then it hasn't been done since (so I figured wrong!).

Cheers!
