Comment 3 for bug 279431

> Is this reproducible?

I assume you mean does it persist across multiple logins, because the fact that I only have one computer means I can only vouch for my own machine, but yes, it's reproducible. I have tried it across multiple reboots, and I have tried it with all kinds of various other settings changed, from outlandish settings that I run (not having Nautilus draw the desktop) to having everything otherwise set to Ubuntu defaults.

Turn on spatial Nautilus (Edit -> Preferences -> Behaviour tab -> Uncheck "Always open in browser windows"). Open a folder window, any folder from any possible method (Places menu, GNOME Do, "gnome-open ."). Resize the window to something noticeably different than it was--something that changes the number of columns for files/folders (this is in icon view, not list view, for the record, I don't mean *those* columns). Close the window. Open the same folder via the same method again. The size will not be what it was when you closed it, nor will it be in the same position on your desktop. Prior to GNOME 2.24/Ubuntu 8.10 it would have remembered both, and I have not seen any indication anywhere that this behaviour was changed intentionally.
