Align & Distribute Dialog's initial location not consistent

[Jasan2]

The Align and Distribute Dialog has a different behavior than the rest of
the dialog boxes. All of them have memory of their location.

For instance I summon another dialog, the Stroke and Fill Dialog, move it
and then close it. When I summon it again, it appears in the same place I
left it.

This problem with the Align and Distribute Dialog has been for a while; it
was somewhat annoying. It had always appeared on the top left corner of the
screen. But now with the new development branch it appears in the center of
the screen, more likely obstructing your work.

I checked 0.45.1 and the bug is still there. Thanks.

Less likely to be noticed if people are using the docking dialogs stuff in 0.46, but the dialog still doesnt come back in a consistant location with where it was in SVN.

Hi.

Inkscape 0.48+devel r11460 on Windows 7 and XP sp3 is tested. The behaviour also applies to the stable 0.48.3 version.

Whenever I reposition the dialog box, when closing and reopening, it appears further up and right on the screen.
So if I repeatedly hits Shift+Ctrl+A, the dialog box moves towards the upper right corner on the screen.

Is this by design to ensure the dialog box doesn't get in center of the screen? This would be a great problem if I suddenly decide to put the box to the left side.
