Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Steps: open a chat window, move it, close it, then open another chat window
Expected: the window would spawn in the same place as it was closed
Observed: it spawns in the top left corner of the screen
I updated to pidgin 2.5.2 a few days ago on Hardy and the symptom manifested itself. Before (with 2.4.1 I believe) the chat windows would correctly remember their position, and spawn in the bottom right of the screen (where I like them). Having to move every single new conversation over to the bottom right is, if the pun is excused, a drag. I am not running compiz; just plain metacity.
The pidgin devs have indeicated at http://
